A Under the Helmet 5k Run and Fun Run abre o ano no centro de Brunswick, Georgia. O 5k larga às 9:00 a.m., e depois rola uma opção mais curta de Fun Run/Walk. A largada e a chegada ficam perto de Queen’s Square, na região das ruas Mansfield and Newcastle. O percurso do 5k passa pela parte histórica de Brunswick antes de voltar para o centro. É uma prova bem de comunidade local, não aquele evento grande de viagem. Tem premiação geral e por faixa etária no 5k, e camiseta garantida para quem se inscrever até meados de dezembro. A prova é organizada pelo Pilot Club of Brunswick, membro do Pilot International desde 1921. O nome “Under the Helmet” tem a ver com as ações do clube voltadas à segurança do cérebro. O programa BrainMinders ensina crianças a prevenir lesões cerebrais com apresentações de fantoches para alunos pequenos e um projeto de capacetes que entrega capacetes de segurança gratuitos para jovens da região. O clube também apoia cuidadores, Memory Matters, Memory Walks e oferece bolsas para estudantes do ensino médio que querem seguir carreira na área médica. Então, a corrida ajuda a manter esse trabalho contínuo de serviço em Brunswick.

Run Jekyll is a race weekend on Jekyll Island, Georgia, featuring a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. The races take place in January, offering cool running weather with daytime temperatures typically in the low 60s and nighttime temperatures in the low 40s. Participants can also opt for a double-race option, accommodating those seeking a short island run alongside others aiming for a two-day challenge. The routes highlight the island's scenery: live oak canopies, salt marsh, open beach views, nature trails, and parts of Jekyll’s historic district. The course crosses the Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark, a resort area linked to a significant restoration initiative in the southeastern United States. Packet pickup is located at the Jekyll Island Club Resort, complementing the event’s historic island atmosphere.

Run Rare 5k offers two participation options: the in-person Run Rare 5k and the Run Rare: Virtual Rarety 5K. Check-in begins at 9:30 AM, with the race commencing at 10:00 AM. This event welcomes participants of all ages and prioritizes rare-disease awareness over competitive finish times. Rarety, the nonprofit organizing the race, was established by Taylor, a student who has lived with a rare disease for years. Her personal medical history, which includes a week of study at the National Institute of Health, shapes the event's focus. The race serves to honor rare warriors whose experiences are often overlooked, particularly young individuals managing rare conditions.

Turtle Crawl is a spring race on Jekyll Island, Georgia, tied to the start of sea turtle nesting season on the Georgia coast. The event offers a beachside 10K, a beachside 5K, and a one-kilometer fun run, with morning starts from the race site on James Road. It is an annual fundraiser for the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, so the entry fee supports sea turtle rehabilitation, research, and education rather than just paying for a race shirt and timing mat. The event began as a fundraiser for the Center, and runners have raised more than $100,000 for sea turtle work. The Georgia Sea Turtle Center has cared for more than 3,000 patients, including sea turtles and other coastal wildlife. Families can join the short fun run, meet the Center’s mascot Scute C. Turtle, and stay after the races for Shell-e-brate, a family event with staff, educational activities, and animal ambassadors. Participants receive a commemorative shirt, age-group placers get medals, and supporters who cannot travel to Jekyll Island can still join through the virtual Ghost Crawler option.
