Swan's Song Urban Run is an urban adventure run in Lakeland, Florida, based at 228 S Massachusetts Ave. The event distance is 30k (about 18 miles) and the route visits roughly 26 painted swans that are part of the Swansation public art project.

Format, route and entry

The event is described as a low-key, self-supported urban adventure rather than a timed race. Participants must navigate using turn-by-turn directions from the provided race book and route. There is no time limit. The organizer notes some water drops and occasional treats, but participants should not expect full support. A multi-event Painter's Revenge Challenge links this event with two other local events; the challenge has full and partial levels and carries an extra fee with awards for completion. The race book and route are made available to entrants. Race day registration is offered with a signed waiver and a $20 fee. Registration for the event closes on Feb 20, 2026.
