2025 Swiftiest Swifter: Mark Wegren!

Each year, one of favorite Swiftiversary traditions is the Swiftiest Swifter Award. This award is NOT about who is the fastest runner, who has the most Strava segment local legends, who got the most PRs etc, although those are all worthwhile goals as well. THIS award IS about who has the strongest Swifter spirit, which includes being welcoming, encouraging, and enthusiastic to all Swifters everywhere. This award is given to someone who demonstrates our core Swifter principles and our mission statement.

Please join us in congratulating the 2025 Swiftiest Swifter, Marky Mark Richard Wegren!
