About the Publix Savannah Women's Half and 5K

The course winds through Savannah's historic district, past the city's signature squares and beneath the sprawling canopy of old live oaks. The streets here are genuinely beautiful, and the route seems designed to show as much of that off as possible. It reads more like a tour than a workout, even if your legs will know the difference by the end.

There is an expo and packet pickup the day before the race. On race morning, pickup opens at Forsyth Park before the start, so arriving early gives you time to settle in before the half and the shorter race go off in close succession.

Common Questions About the Publix Savannah Women's Half and 5K

Will I finish last at the Publix Savannah Women's Half and 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:26:28, and the last recorded finisher came in around 4:13:24, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Publix Savannah Women's Half and 5K a good first 13.1 Miles?

With 1,297 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Publix Savannah Women's Half and 5K?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:23:32 while the median finisher took 2:26:28. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
