Greenbrier SwimFest

About the Event

Welcome to the 2026 Greenbrier SwimFest brought to you by French Creek Racing!

This SwimFest event at Greenbrier State Park in Boonsboro, MD has three distances (plus options to combine events for longer distance) including:
800 meter swim (1 loop)
1600 meter swim (2 loops)
2400 meter swim (3 loops)

For an extra challenge, race in all 3! Get 30% off your 2nd race and 45% off your 3rd race.

Check-in is available from 7:30AM to 10:30AM on Sunday September 27. All racers should check in when they arrive.

NO REFUNDS and no rain date. In the event of inclement weather, entries will roll into next year's race, or you may defer to another FCR event. A registered athlete may request a deferral to next year's event if they do so at least 14 days prior to the event. A nominal fee shall apply.

Historical water temperature varies, but we expect water temperature to be between 62-70F for this date. Wetsuits will be allowed with water temps below 78.0 degrees.

We always need volunteers, lifeguards, and other helpers to run successful events. To volunteer, please check out our volunteer link at www.frenchcreekracing.com/volunteer
