About the RUN JEKYLL
Run Jekyll spreads its races across a weekend, with shorter distances on the first day and longer ones on the second, so you can double up if one race is not enough. The courses wind through Jekyll Island's coastal landscape, past nature trails and historic landmarks, with scenery that makes you forget how your legs feel.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the first race day and again on the morning of each race at the Jekyll Island Club, which also serves as the host hotel. The start line is on Stable Road.

The RUN JEKYLL 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.
