In-person registration and pre-registration pick-up will take place on the left side of Swamp Road Baptist Church (SRBC). Look for the tents & signs.

Race details:
Both the 5k and the 1 Mile Fun Run will begin and end at Swamp Road Baptist Church. There will be plenty of parking at SRBC. The start/finish line will be well-marked in front of SRBC by a giant blue inflatable. Both the 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run courses will turn right upon leaving the SRBC parking lot and run on Swamp Road. There will be a water station available at the halfway point of the 5k.

Restrooms:
Restrooms will be accessible inside Swamp Road Baptist Church.

Awards Ceremony:
There will be an awards ceremony after the 5k. Each participant will be given a slip of paper when they cross the finish line to take to the Timekeeper tent to fill in their name, age, gender, and time so we can tabulate the race results. There will be age group awards and an overall male and overall female award.

COVID Precautions:
Wear a mask, if you desire, and practice social distancing when you are at the registration area and after the race. We will not utilize staggered start times, but we will allow for appropriate distancing at the starting line. SRBC is not held responsible if you contract COVID-19 before, during, or after the 5k or 1 Mile Fun Run. 

AI Overview

The Swamp Classic 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run, held annually on April 22nd in Waycross, GA (31503), offers a unique racing experience rooted in the local Southern Georgia landscape. While specific historical details for this event are not provided, its "Swamp Classic" title strongly suggests a race that embraces the natural beauty and perhaps the slightly challenging conditions of its swampy surroundings. Participants can expect a community-focused event with two distance options: a more competitive 5K for seasoned runners and a casual 1 Mile Fun Run ideal for families, walkers, and younger participants. The terrain for the Swamp Classic is likely to be a mix of flat, potentially unpaved, or lightly graveled paths that wind through or alongside the local swampy areas. Runners should anticipate a humid environment typical of Georgia in April, possibly with soft ground, and the presence of natural elements that contribute to the "swamp" theme. While specific notable features are not detailed, such races often highlight local flora and fauna, provide a strong sense of community spirit, and aim to raise awareness or funds for local causes, making it more than just a race but an immersion into the Waycross environment.
