Run Up for Heroes is a 5K race in Jacksonville, starting at the pier of the USS Orleck Naval Museum. This event commemorates the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary and generates funds for local veterans, aiming to honor service members and provide housing for Jacksonville veterans requiring assistance. The event offers more than just the run: Jacksonville Jaguars personnel, JAX Legends, and the ROAR of the Jaguars will be present. Local vendors, food trucks, a DJ, a photo booth, children’s games, bounce houses, and fall harvest activities are also scheduled. Costume contests provide a fun element, with a category for runners or families dressed as superheroes.

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.

Fort Clinch State Park defines this Florida Roots Trail Series race: runners complete a 10K loop within the park, selecting one loop for the 10K, three for the 30K, or five for the 50K. This annual trail event takes place on Amelia Island, and its 50K is the island’s sole ultra-marathon distance. The loop combines shaded single track with a brief beach section behind the historic Civil War-era fort. Local runners form a significant portion of the participants, with over 110 in the recent running. The event also draws families and spectators to the park’s shared spaces. It has generated more than $8,000 for the Friends of Fort Clinch. The 50K's front can be fast: Wrigley Longstreet established the men's course record at 4:10, and Cason Zylinski won the women's race in 4:59, surpassing that record by seven minutes and securing her second consecutive 50K victory.

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.
