Smooth Running 5K Endurance Challenge
The Smooth Running 5K Endurance Challenge takes place on 2026-09-19 at 1612 Frederica Rd, Saint Simons Island, GA 31522. The event is based on a paved loop beneath oak trees on St. Simons Island. Participants may run one or more laps of the 5K loop during the event day; each completed lap earns a finisher medal and a shirt.
The event can accommodate continuous running across the day, including the option to accumulate miles over multiple laps up to a 12 hour period. An aid station at the start/finish provides water and snacks; the race is described as self-supporting, and there is a Jimmy John’s and a Smoothie King at the start/finish area.
Awards are given to the top three Kings and Queens with the most miles; these top finishers receive special medals and additional prizes. Packet pickup is available the day before at Smoothie King (1612 Frederica Rd) and on race day at the start area. Registration opens on 2026-03-15 and closes on 2026-07-20; the listed registration fee is $35.00.
Parking is available behind Smoothie King, behind Uncle Don’s Market, at Redfern Village, and in the Winn-Dixie parking lot. No parking is allowed at Maggie’s or in front of Uncle Don’s. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
