Run AWAY 5K Trail Run

The Annual SWA Run AWAY 5K on Sunday, March 31, 2019, celebrates the harmony of industry and nature with a trail run/walk that brings awareness to recycling and solid waste issues. Held at the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County’s Greenway Trail System and Education Center, 6751 N. Jog Road in West Palm Beach, this 3.1 mile course will take runners AWAY through cabbage palms, cypress hammocks, marshes and lush pine flat woods, with glimpses of Grassy Waters Preserve and the SWA's Renewable Energy Park.
