Making its debut in late 2025, the Savannah Southern Half brings a fresh and vibrant twist to Georgia’s running scene. This inaugural event welcomes runners to glide along Savannah’s historic streets and riverfront pathways. Signifying the city’s commitment to adding a new gem to its running calendar, organizers have tailored the event to both competitive athletes chasing PRs and casual participants seeking a scenic fun day out.
Runners can expect a predominantly road-based course that weaves through Savannah’s iconic pastel-fronted homes, moss-draped oaks, and the bustling River Street district. Flat and fast underfoot, the course invites speedy finishes, though pockets of shade shift as the morning sun climbs. Aid stations are positioned at regular intervals, and local support is already building—Ambassador and run-club zones promise community enthusiasm and spirited cheer crews .
What truly sets this race apart is its blend of Southern charm and small-town intimacy wrapped in an urban, historic setting. Being a brand-new event, it offers a unique opportunity to be part of the first-ever finisher cohort, with limited early-access pricing and exclusive swag for initial registrants. Expect a quality race experience with race-chip timing, commemorative medal and shirt, and a celebratory finish corral in true Savannah style.
As one excited runner shared via Instagram: “Savannah’s newest race is open — lace up… entries won’t stick around long, sugar!”
