Run Jekyll je pretekový víkend na Jekyll Island, Georgia, kde si môžeš zabehnúť 5K, 10K, half marathon, alebo marathon. Preteky sú v januári, takže počasie na beh je príjemné, také chladnejšie – cez deň býva tak okolo 15-18°C a v noci klesne na nejakých 4-7°C. Môžeš si vybrať aj double-race možnosť, čo je fajn pre tých, čo si chcú dať len krátky beh po ostrove, alebo aj pre tých, čo hľadajú dvojdňovú výzvu. Trasy ti ukážu krásy ostrova: koruny starých dubov, slané močiare, otvorené výhľady na pláž, prírodné chodníčky a časti historickej štvrte Jekyll. Trať prechádza cez Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark, čo je rezortná oblasť spojená s veľkou rekonštrukčnou iniciatívou na juhovýchode Spojených štátov. Balíčky si vyzdvihneš v Jekyll Island Club Resort, čo pekne dopĺňa tú historickú ostrovnú atmosféru celého podujatia.

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.
