About the 5K for Peace
The course runs through the historic squares of downtown Savannah, which means shade, uneven brick in spots, and something worth looking at around every turn. It starts and finishes at Daffin Park. The route is road, mostly flat, and the squares give it a stop-and-start geometry that feels different from a standard out-and-back.
After the race, there is music, food, and a gathering of vendors and community organizations at the park. The event benefits Rooted Ummah, a local nonprofit that provides meals, supplies, and services to unhoused neighbors, refugees, and displaced families in Savannah and beyond.

The 5K for Peace has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
