Swiftiest Swifter 2025 nominations are open

Of the many awards and prizes that will be given at our 4th Swiftiversary celebration, one of the most exciting will be the Swiftiest Swifter Award. This is NOT about who is the fastest runner, has the most Strava segments, the most PRs, etc. This IS about who has the strongest Swifter spirit, which includes being welcoming, encouraging, and enthusiastic to all Swifters everywhere. Got someone deserving in mind? Please nominate them by filling out this form! Nominations will be open until the end of the day on Sunday, July 13. Thank you for your time and effort in recognizing your Swifter-mates!

And don't forget to save the date for our 4th Swifiversary celebrations, Saturday, September 13, 4-8pm at Linne Woods. More info to come!
