Ultra marathon for Swan Trust

About Us & Our Mission

Swan Conservation Trust is a passionate, community-driven organization committed to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty and ecological health of our local lands. Dedicated to conservation, the all-volunteer organization works tirelessly to protect the diverse ecosystems within the headwaters of Big Swan and Big Bigsby Creeks of the Western Highland Rim, safeguarding its lush woods, enchanting springs, and thriving wildlife for present and future generations.

Our team is thrilled to host our first annual trail running event, a remarkable rendezvous of nature enthusiasts and runners. This exciting event not only promotes fitness and an appreciation for nature, but it also serves as our primary fundraiser for land conservation efforts. Participants will traverse scenic trails, running alongside serene creeks, and pass through majestic, towering trees nudged by the gentle sway of the wind. It’s a chance to compete, connect, and contribute all at once!

All funds raised from this event will be channeled directly into expanding Big Swan Headwaters Preserve through land acquisitions, as well as maintaining, marking, and building trails for public access. Further work is dedicated to ensuring the headwaters, natural wildlife habitats they offer, and health of local flora remain available for generations to come.

By joining our event, participants do more than just experience the captivating beauty of Big Swan Creek’s headwaters, woods, and wildlife; they become advocates for its preservation, contributing directly to ongoing conservation efforts. We believe that every step taken on our trails brings us one step closer to a sustainable and bright future for Big Swan Creek.

Join us on this extraordinary journey to make a tangible difference while discovering the subtle, yet profound, charm of nature.
