Savannah Southern Half

Savannah Southern Half comes to Savannah, Georgia, on November 14, 2026. The main event is the half marathon (13.1 miles), which starts at 7:30 AM, and a 5K (3.1 miles) goes off earlier at 7:00 AM for runners who want a shorter morning. Both are road races run on the same day, so friends and family targeting different distances can share the trip.

The half marathon here suits a first 13.1 as well as a PR attempt, since a road course lets you settle into an even pace from the start. A 12-week build with a weekly long run that reaches 10 to 12 miles, plus one tempo session, will get you to the line ready. The 5K works as a race-pace test for shorter-distance runners or as an easy shakeout for those traveling with someone who is running the half. Both starts are early, so rehearse your race-morning routine, breakfast included, on a training day rather than figuring it out on the morning itself.
