About the Run For Rangers Savannah
The courses run through and around Historic Fort Screven, past the lighthouse, Officers Row, Jaycee Park, and down to the beach, with a finish at North Beach. The island is nearly sea level throughout, so the terrain is about as flat as road racing gets. Salt marsh, tidal creeks, the pier, and South Beach all appear along the longer route, which circles much of the island.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at a venue right on Meddin Drive at the start area, with an earlier option at a hotel near Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah. Parking is at the North Beach lot, and the organizers strongly suggest purchasing a parking pass when you register. Do not park at the lighthouse lot.
