Okefenokee Swamp Run 10k Trail Route
Harkening back to the early days, the race starts and finishes at the Okefenokee Swamp Park. The start heads out the paved Swamp Park Road. Turns right onto dirt forest service roads into the Dixon Memorial State Forest. The race is primarily on service roads wide enough for ATV's and Cars, so you should not have to worry too much about roots and such. However, depending on rain, there could be water and mud. The race ends back up on the paved Swamp Park Road, for a fast dash to the finish line!
