About this race
Race Overview
Get ready for a race weekend like no other at the Run Jekyll Weekend! Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or a first-time 5k participant, this weekend offers something for every level of runner. Set on the beautiful Jekyll Island, runners can choose from four exciting race options: On Saturday choose between the 5k or 10k and on Sunday run either the half marathon or the marathon. However, if running only one race doesn't cure your appetite for racing you can choose to run a double!
