🏞️ Race Experience

Savannah has been called, "America's most beautiful city" and Skidaway Island is one of its jewels. This is your opportunity to run where most Savannahians only dream of running. It isn’t on your everyday tourist website because this course is hosted in the premiere Island Neighborhood: The Landings Association and The Landings Club.

Run Saturday 22nd, at 7:30am in the half marathon. Enjoy beautiful scenery, a quiet and peaceful course hosted by a local race company. About 800 of our runners will participate in the half with 200 more running the 5k. Then enjoy an afternoon in the fabulous Savannah Area. You can tour downtown, hit the beach on Tybee Island or explore the rivers looking for dolphins or fishing.

📍 The Course

You will enjoy miles of perfect scenery, amazing marsh and river front views, elegant homes and sneak peaks of the Landings Golf Courses. This is mostly an open course because the traffic is minimal, and you'll likely share the road with a homeowner enjoying their daily golf cart ride. The course is almost entirely paved: generally super flat. It is certified by US Track and Field and can be used as a qualifying time. You can expect green grass, flowers and cool breezes off the marsh. The average temperature has been in the mid 70s by noon. It is small next to the national races so you won’t be fighting crowds for your free parking.
