About the YMCA Critz Tybee Run
The Critz Tybee Run spreads across a full weekend on Tybee Island, with an evening kick-off race and several races the next morning that together cover the same ground as a marathon if you run them all. The setting is coastal throughout, with ocean air and the pier nearby.
Packet pickup is at the parking lot near the pier, with the main window the afternoon before racing begins and an early morning option on race day. Beer and VIP wristbands are handled at the same location; bring a photo ID either day. A VIP lounge with beer and snacks runs the opening evening and continues through the weekend.
