Run for Rangers Savannah

Run For Rangers Savannah

Run For Rangers Savannah is a road race held on Tybee Island, Georgia, on November 21, 2026. The event starts in front of Historic Fort Screven on Meddin Drive, across from the Tybee Lighthouse, and uses island streets, parks, beachfront, and salt marsh areas for its courses.

Distances include:

• 5K, 3.1 miles
• Half Marathon, 13.1 miles
• Ranger Challenge Relay, two-person teams, half marathon distance split
• Half Marathon Ranger Challenge, half marathon individual division

The 5K and half marathon are chip timed and include custom finisher medals. The half marathon also includes a technical T-shirt; additional long sleeve shirts and hoodies are available for purchase. Course features described for both races include very flat terrain, views of Fort Screven, the Tybee Lighthouse, Officers Row, Jaycee Park, the Pier, South Beach, the Back River, and areas of salt marsh with tidal creeks.

Relay and Ranger challenge divisions are limited to active duty or retired Army Rangers; the relay uses an exchange point about halfway. Pre-registration is recommended for planning; walk-up registrants may not be guaranteed event shirts.

Awards are presented for overall male and female, masters male and female, and age groups with first through third places. Age-group brackets for the 5K start at 10 and under and progress through 60 and up; half marathon age-group brackets start at 14 and under and progress through 60 and up. Parking is available at the North Beach lot and parking passes are distributed at packet pickup. Packet pickup occurs on November 19 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Savannah and on November 20 at the Shrine Club on Tybee Island. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
