Pro tips
- 01
Same Route Twice
The course is out-and-back, so you'll retrace the island tour. Use the return leg to focus on familiar landmarks and steady pacing rather than surprises.

Warm Coastal Day
Typical race-day temperature is 22.4°C, so expect mild to warm, possibly humid conditions. Start conservatively and use aid stations early.

Historic District Tour
The route tours Jekyll Island, including the Historic District with moss-draped oaks. Expect a mix of preserved buildings and natural island scenery.

No Point-to-Point Shuttle
Because it's an out-and-back, the start and finish are in the same area. You don't need separate finish-line transport; plan your parking and warm-up there.

Protected Island Miles
By law, 65 percent of Jekyll Island is left natural, so parts of the course may feel wild and quiet. Keep your own rhythm when crowds thin.
