Hundreds of runners and casual observers made the trek into Plant City’s Lower Green Swamp Preserve for Saturday’s Romp in the Swamp.
The 5k mud run, which featured 27 obstacles for runners to try to cross, was open to anyone aged 14 and older. There were two separate “kids runs,” for ages 5-8 and 9-13, complete with “kids only” obstacles that the youngsters were welcome to try. Proceeds from the event benefit both the Plant City Chamber Foundation and the Foundation at South Florida Baptist Hospital.
While there was an actual timed competition, which Terry Garbis won with a time of 29:33, the goal of the day was for everybody to have a great time.
