The Beginning
Welcome to SQUIGGY’S GNOME ROAM.
For those of you that don’t know Swamp as an organization, you may ask why we do events like Squiggy?
-
Sending you home with smiles and memories is only the beginning.
-
Swamp has been building and maintaining trails for the past 35 years.
Fundraisers along with volunteers are necessary for us to continue to do so.
As your hosts for Squiggy, we aim to provide you with the best possible experience, whether you're biking, running, or simply having fun. We hope you feel satisfied knowing that your participation supports our trials and that you'll leave excited to return in 2025. Yes, planning for 2025 is already underway.
This is a rain or shine event. No refunds
With best wishes and sincere hopes,
Your Swamp Squiggy’s Gnome Roam event team
