SWA Run AWAY 5K – Sunday, April 8

Bring your family out to the 4th Annual SWA Run AWAY 5K Trail Run or Walk to celebrate the harmony of industry and nature with the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County and bring awareness to recycling and solid waste issues.

Immediately following the Run AWAY 5K, all are welcome to take advantage of the self-guided tours of the SWA’s Renewable Energy Facility 2, so families can learn where their trash ends up and how it is disposed.

Proceeds from the run will benefit the nonprofit Resource Depot (www.resourcedepot.net) and their efforts to inspire creativity, conservation and community engagement through reuse.
