RACE RESULTS AND PICTURES ON FACEBOOK
The majority of the club's race results and pictures are on our Facebook page. It is much easier to post to FB, along with numerous pictures. Plus, everyone who is a member can post their own pictures and results. For our local events, I will continue to post them here. (Please note that sometimes the race results do not post correctly such as the 2011 Swamp Run. I apologize that they are a " jumbled up mess"
but after numerous attempts at trying to type them on individual lines, I finally gave up.)
If you are on FB but not on the club's FB page, go to Okefenokee Track Club and click "Like".
(I was not able to change the page to Okefenokee Track & Cycling Club
without starting over, but I was able to use our new logo.)

About Us
- OKEFENOKEE TRACK & CYCLING CLUB
- In February 2010, the track club reformed as the Okefenokee Track & Cycling Club, an Affiliate of the Childers Family YMCA of Waycross. The club was originally organized on March 29, 1979. The club is dedicated to the community by encouraging fitness through running, jogging, walking, and cycling. We have several members who compete in triathlons and Ironmans. Numerous track club members participate in cycling group rides/events, so it was voted to reform by including the former Satilla Cycling Club. Below you will find upcoming events. If you know of a race or ride not listed below, send us the info and we'll get it out to everyone!
