RUN JEKYLL
About this race
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!
This scenic event offers breathtaking views of the island’s unique landscape, featuring a mix of coastal beauty, lush nature trails, and historic landmarks. No matter if you're looking for a fun challenge or aiming for a personal best, the Run Jekyll weekend provides a perfect opportunity to push your limits, celebrate your fitness goals, and experience the natural beauty of Georgia’s coastline.

Marathon-ADDED SLOTS
When we ordered the medals it was based on the our previous years numbers. This year we've sold out faster then anticipated and there's still a lot of interest in running on Jekyll! Which is great! However, we thought we would not be able to offer a medal but our vendor confirmed that we can have additional medals done in time. I would call this a Christmas miracle but this isn't a Christmas race but you can appreciate the sentiment, right?=) Once we fill these spots we will not be adding anymore.
