RACE DAY COUNTDOWN
A COURSE THAT WILL CHARM YOUR SOCKS OFF
An unforgettable affair beneath sweeping oaks and Spanish moss.
Where every mile is a waltz of grace, charm, and Southern elegance.
From Forsyth’s shade, wind through the heart of the city, past pastel porches and charming landmarks, right into the wild cheer of the Grayson Stadium, home of Savannah Bananas.
And when you think the show’s over... it all wraps with a finish line flourish at Daffin Park under the lacey shade of Live Oaks and Gum Trees.

The time count begins after the start of the last wave of runners.

The Highway will be reopened to traffic on a “rolling basis” determined by that pace.
The Finish Line will stay open for runners and spectators until 12:00 PM. Aid stations, official finishing times, commemorative medallions, and post-race refreshments will only be available to runners who maintain a 3 hours and 30 minute pace or below.
Overall Award Medals will be available for the top 3 male, female, and non-binary winners.
