Savannah Southern Half 2026

The Savannah Southern Half starts runners in Forsyth Park and proceeds through Savannah, Georgia. The main event is a half marathon, with a 5K offered concurrently. Taking place in November, the race highlights its Southern locale with routes through oak-lined streets, past Spanish moss, and historic neighborhoods, concluding at Daffin Park. The 5K accommodates strollers, making the day suitable for participants beyond those aiming for a fast half marathon time. The half marathon course crosses the city center, featuring a segment within Grayson Stadium, home of the Savannah Bananas. Post-race, participants arrive at a festival featuring live music, DJs, dance groups, food vendors, and beverages. The event also fosters a year-round running community through meetups and training programs. Additionally, hotel discounts and complimentary shuttles connect the Finish Festival to downtown, facilitating a race-weekend trip to Savannah.
