Savannah Southern Half

Savannah Southern Half is a destination road race held in Savannah, Georgia, United States, offering runners a chance to experience one of the South’s most visually distinctive cities through a race weekend built around charm, atmosphere, and community. The event’s identity leans fully into Savannah’s setting, with official race language emphasizing sweeping live oaks, Spanish moss, porch-lined streets, and a course that carries runners from the historic feel of Forsyth Park toward a lively finish at Daffin Park.

What makes the race stand out is not only the setting, but also the presentation: the official site positions it as an immersive race experience rather than just a standard half marathon, with a strong local flavor, a year-round runner community, free shuttle service between finish and downtown, and a route designed to showcase the city’s personality. With both a Half Marathon and a Fleet Feet 5K, the event appeals to a broad range of runners while still giving the weekend the feel of a polished destination race.
