There's no on-site registration, so make sure you're signed up beforehand.

Weather snapshot (AI-assisted text)

Running in Savannah, GA, in early September typically means warm and humid conditions. Expect temperatures to be on the higher side, especially as the morning progresses, so hydration will be key. Be prepared for a potentially muggy start to your race.

Terrain & course feel (AI-assisted text)

The course is described as an out-and-back, with no mention of significant elevation changes or off-road sections. It's highly likely to be a flat or gently rolling paved course, typical for urban or park-based races of these distances.
