Upcoming Events

THE FIFTH ANNUAL END OF THE DUMPSTER FIRE YEAR/SO LONG 2024 20-ISH MILER

Our annual year-end tradition is back for a 5th year! And this year, it's on a Tuesday! Instead of our usual Tuesday Trails, come experience this Swifty wrap-up.

On Tuesday, December 31, Captain Swifter & Co will be running the entirety of the North Branch Trail of the Cook County Forest Preserves system--20.3 miles in total! Many folks will be hopping on the trail for a few miles along the way, and others will be coming to cheer and spectate. Whatever your involvement, check out all the details and please let us know if you'd like to come on out!

This is an altogether run - meaning it's not a race and it's not meant to be fast. This is a let's-enjoy-each-other's-company-and-be-grateful-that-we-GET-to-run run. Full details here.
