Swamp Donkey 2010 Registration and Planning is Charging Along...

After spending a wet weekend out at Falcon Lake, race organizer John Ford had a chance to check out some great MCA biking, Kids of Mud and the Falcon Down downhill event. But the most fun was riding the awesome trails at the Swamp Donkey host site Falcon Trails Resort and looking at some new areas for this years race. "The town of Falcon Lake, Falcon Trails Resort and the local businesses are very excited to have the 4th Swamp Donkey Adventure Race return" John went on to say.

Also, congrats to the first 10 teams that registered, they will receive a pair of custom logo Swamp Donkey Adventure Race socks from our bronze level race sponsor TechSox! Thanks to the guys over at TechSox for putting this together. Soon you will be contacted by race organizers for your sock size!
