Run For Rangers Savannah

Run For Rangers Savannah is held on Tybee Island, Georgia, on November 21, 2026, and offers two distances. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7:30 a.m. and the 5K follows at 8:00 a.m., so the two fields share the course for part of the morning. A short program like this makes for a manageable weekend if you are travelling in from the Savannah area, with both races finished well before midday.

The gap between the two options is real: a 5K can be run off general fitness, while 13.1 miles needs a proper base. If the half is your target, aim for a 12-week build with a long run that grows by a mile every week or two up to about 11 miles, and keep the rest of the week easy. Anyone using the 5K as a tune-up can treat it as a hard effort a few weeks out from a longer goal race later in the winter.
