It was 33rd Summer Trail Series race since 2013, the year Bobby York established the series. It was also the largest yet, with 141 athletes on hand for the 8:00 AM start. Among that record-sized field were several past winners of Summer Trail Series races, Leonardo Canete, Jonathan Stern, and Daniel Wurgler, each of whom posted wins during the 2021 season. Those former champs were heading the field early in the race, but Stern was in front of them all. Stern had the lead at the halfway point of the race, 15 seconds up on Canete. Wurgler was running in third, another five seconds back. Those positions held for the rest of the race, with Stern taking first in 28:08, Canete second in 28:42, and Wurgler third in 28:49. For the fifth time in a row, Canete was the first master runner in a Series race.
Likewise, Andi Vilardo was leading the women's field at the midpoint of the race. Not a stranger to the trails, Vilardo ran cross-country for Montford Middle School during 2021, her seventh-grade season. Stacie Taylor was seven seconds behind Vilardo, followed by Kendall Meikenhous and Juliana Krueger. Vilardo maintained her position and claimed the women's title in 38:29. Overtaking Taylor and Meikenous, Krueger finished runner-up for the women, placing 22nd overall in 38:44. Taylor was the third woman, 25th overall in 39:00, while Meikenhous was fourth in the women's standings and 29th overall in 39:45. Katie Clark was the first woman master and the sixth female finisher, 32nd overall in 40:39.

The course for the Swamp Forest Trail Race was run on the trail system of Phipps Park, mostly on single-track paths maintained by the Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Department. The race started and finished off Miller Landing Road near Gate A, atop the rim of the Lake Jackson basin, with much of the first half of the race spent running downhill toward the lake. Although the athletes never quite reached the water, they still had to spend the latter stages of the race climbing back up to the finish line.
After the Swamp Forest Trail Race, three events remained in Gulf Winds Track Club's 2022 Summer Trail Series--the Red Bug Trail Race at Forestmeadows Athletic Center on 18 June 2022, the Maclay Gardens Trail Race at Maclay Gardens State Park on 16 July 2022, and the Cadillac Trail Race in Tom Brown Park on 20 August 2022.
