2025 SWA Run AWAY 5K

The 2025 SWA Run AWAY 5K Trail Run will be held Saturday, April 5, at the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County Greenway Trail System. This event celebrates the harmony of industry and nature, bringing awareness to recycling and solid waste issues.

The Run AWAY 5K is a unique race that takes participants across varying terrain and through cabbage palms, cypress hammocks, marshes, and lush pine flat woods, with glimpses of Grassy Waters Preserve and the Palm Beach Renewable Energy Park. The race is conducted in partnership with the nonprofit Resource Depot, which works to inspire creativity, conservation, and community engagement through reuse.

GROUPS:

Running together has its perks! Gather your group of six or more and enjoy a $5 discount on each registration fee. Groups with six or more participants will receive a special shout out at the race! No need to gather the entire group before signing up recruitment is open until online registration closes.

Once the sixth person joins your group, the previous five adults will be issued a $5 refund. Team members six and beyond will be able to register at the discounted price once they join the group. While the discount doesn't apply to the youth registration rate, youngsters can still be part of your race team.

CORPORATE TEAMS:

Interested in building a team at your workplace, school or organization? Corporate Teams are coordinated through a designated "captain" at your place of business, who compiles a list of registrants and makes a single payment for all registrations. Corporate teams will be acknowledged at the race, with a special prize for the team with the highest number of registrations. Please contact Events Coordinator Patti Hammond at [email protected] to create your corporate team.
