Race Management
This is a fantastic destination race through one of the most beautiful cities in the South. The course scenery is second to none and inckudes views of the Savannah River, several city parks as well as beautiful old homes and churches. The race directors had live bands along the course, which provided motivation and entertainment and kept the atmosphere lively for the participants and spectators.
Race registration is online and Rock n Roll does an excellent job of providing race updates. They also provide information on places to stay with links to several hotels that offer race weekend specials.
Savannah is a great place to visit and this race gives you a great reason to be there. Make sure you take a walk down River Street and don't leave without trying the pecan pralines.
Race day traffic is reportedly very hectic, so I took a shuttle to the start line and from the finish back to our hotel, everywhere else we utilized uber. This allowed us to concentrate on the race and the amenities offered by the city, rather than wasting time and energy on a sketchy traffic situation.
After the race, Rock n Roll offered a free concert, which was a great way to relax and enjoy your finish, adult beverages were available. All in all this was a great experience and we will be back again.
