About the Swamp Stomp Half Marathon
The Swamp Stomp Half Marathon is run each December in the Graywood Plantation neighborhood south of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and is organized by the Lake Area Runners club. The flat course winds through the subdivision's streets and starts and finishes at Graywood Park, with water stops along the way. Runners who finish within four hours receive a medal and a jacket, and a 1 Mile Fun Run starts 15 minutes after the half marathon gun.
