Description
Fueled by boiled peanuts and instant coffee, this is one you won't want to miss.
The Atlanta to Savannah Relay is an exciting new endurance running event that takes participants on a scenic and challenging journey from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia—two of the most iconic cities in the state. Spanning over 240 miles, this event is designed for serious runners who want to push their limits while taking in the beauty of Georgia’s diverse landscapes.
Route:
Starting in the heart of Virginia Highlands, runners will traverse through the vibrant streets of Atlanta, passing iconic landmarks and leaving the city life behind. As they make their way south, the route meanders through charming small towns, sprawling forests, and peaceful farmlands before hitting the serene coastline near Savannah. Along the way, participants will experience the gradual transition from the hustle and bustle of city life to the tranquil, moss-draped charm of the Low Country.
Key features of the route include:
Atlanta to Monticello (Leg 1): The first leg is a challenging urban and rural mix, featuring rolling hills and long stretches of open road.
Monticello to Milledgeville (Leg 2): A mid-race section that dips into Georgia’s agricultural heartland, offering quiet roads and stunning views of fields and forests.
Milledgeville to Statesboro (Leg 3): A fast-paced leg with straightaways and slightly flatter terrain, perfect for maintaining pace.
Statesboro to Savannah (Leg 4): The final stretch takes runners through picturesque rural landscapes before entering Savannah, with the finish crossing over cobblestone streets, through historic Forsyth Park, and ending at PERC coffee roasters.
