About the 13th Annual Swifty Swine 5K

The Swifty Swine takes place during Clinton's Apple and Pork Festival weekend, so the town is already in full swing when you line up. The course is described as scenic, and the atmosphere carries the energy of a festival day rather than a standalone road race. A separate short kids' run follows the main event, drawing families to the finish area.

Post-race snacks are out when you finish. Packet pickup opens early on race morning, and parking signs are posted on race day to direct you in.

Common Questions About the 13th Annual Swifty Swine 5K

Will I finish last at the 13th Annual Swifty Swine 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:01, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 13th Annual Swifty Swine 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (128 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 13th Annual Swifty Swine 5K?

The 5K winner ran 20:50 while the median finisher took 34:08. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
