Description

The SWAMP 100k, 50k, 30k, & 10k is a race put on by Dawn Lisenby out at Graham Swamp near Flagler Beach, Florida. This course is a 6.2 mile loop that is flowing, single track with a lot of short steep climbs. But don't let that lay easy in your mind, this course is one of the trickiest as it is said that the 50k runs like a 50 miler! This year the 10k race was a fundraiser for breast cancer and renamed the Debby10k, for the RD's sister who was diagnosed in 2014 with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. Only 20% are expected to live to 5 years, let alone past it, so as you can see she is a fighter and fittingly deserves a race run in her honor that will benefit breast cancer research.

We open up the episode with words from your Race Director, Dawn, she chats about how the race came to be, how the course runs, the special moments and race directors report. Then we jump into a conversion with your 100k second-place finisher Giovanni Cerbone, your 50k woman's champion Deanna Doane, as well as, Matt Murphy (50k - 10th) and Rick Williamson (50k - 9th).
