Smooth Running 5K Endurance Challenge
The Smooth Running 5K Endurance Challenge is a lap-based running event on Saint Simons Island held at 1612 Frederica Rd. The course uses paved trails under oak trees and is organized as a 12 hour endurance format in which participants may complete as many laps as they choose. Each lap measures 5K and finishing a single lap earns a finisher medal and a shirt.
The event is self supported but an aid station at the start and finish will provide a water point with snacks. Food outlets located at the start and finish include Jimmy John’s and Smoothie King. Awards are given to the top three Kings and top three Queens by total miles; those top finishers receive special medals and additional prizes.
Practical details provided by the organizer include parking options and packet pickup. Available parking locations are behind Smoothie King, behind Uncle Don’s Market, Redfern Village, and the Winn Dixie parking lot. Parking is not allowed at Maggie’s or in front of Uncle Don’s. Packet pickup is available the evening before at Smoothie King and at the start and finish on race day. Registration opens 03/15/2026, closes 07/20/2026, and the registration fee is $35.00.
