Dark Anchor

Dark Anchor is an ultramarathon held on Jekyll Island, Georgia, at 210 S Riverview Dr. The event is an overnight and multi-hour running event built around repeated loops and wide trails, with course segments that run under the stars. The route is described as highly runnable, with zero elevation change - no sustained climbs or descents - and a smooth surface suited for sustained pace over long durations. The event uses looped laps to enable extended continuous running through day and night.

Organizers list a 34 hour time limit for the event and offer multiple distance categories. Professional chip timing with real-time tracking and live lap counting is provided, and official times are recorded for distances of 25K and longer. A lodging discount is available for participants at properties located along or near the course. The event theme references an anchor symbol and the phrase "Refuse to sink," emphasizing hope and mutual support among participants rather than competition alone.
