Rock 'n' Roll Savannah (http://www.runrocknroll.com/savannah/) will always hold a place in my heart since it was my first marathon in 2014. After the marathon in 2014 I was so happy about a flat course and prospect of running a sub 2 hour race that I immediately signed up to run the half and 5k (Remix Challenge) for 2015. Unfortunately due to a femoral stress fracture I had to sit it out. This year's return to Savannah was all about redemption. I went big and decided to run the half marathon, 5k, and 1 miler for the Remix and GA Pie Challenge. The half marathon was on Nov 4 and the other races on Nov 5.

The Expo
The expo was held at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center on Nov 3. Even though I had 3 bibs to pick up for my races and I was able to get them quickly. Immediately after picking up my bib, I picked up my 3 tee-shirts before heading inside to visit the vendors. 

Brooks is the main sponsor for the race and they had huge exhibit and plenty of gear for purchase. There were many other race organizations and gear vendors. My wallet was happy since I didn't buy anything. I did have a chance to catch up some old friends and take plenty of pictures.

Race Day
Concerns about heat prompted officials to move the race start time to 7:15 am. I took a hotel shuttle to race which started near the river. There were plenty of hotels for snacks and rest rooms as well as porta potties. The weather was wonderful at the start. At 7:15 am we were released in our waves to take on the streets of Savannah for 13.1 miles.
​
Running in Savannah is A LOT easier than running in ATL since they do not have many hills. The hydration stations were every other mile and well stocked with volunteers. There was plenty of crowd support in the historic areas. I finished in 2:31, which is a half marathon PR for me this year. The weather held up for my race and I felt great.
