Overview The Publix Savannah Women's Half Marathon and 5K is a race weekend branded just for women and sold as a girls' getaway in Savannah's Historic District: a fitness expo on Friday, 13.1 miles of tree-lined streets and city squares on Saturday morning, and free yoga on one of the squares on Sunday. The half is open to runners 12 and over. The 2024 race was the ninth, hosted by the Savannah Sports Council. On site Race-day packet pickup, the start and the post-race Finish Line Festival all sit in Forsyth Park, and the VIP tent is about 50 yards from the start line, with wristbands and a participant gift. The half runs five water stations, three with electrolytes, and each has portable restrooms; ten pace groups run from 1:45 to 3:00, and the course closes at four hours. The Friday expo, called the Fashion Fitness Expo in 2024, is packet pickup plus vendors, and the race describes it as a space for women to connect. Every runner gets a race shirt, and each year's finisher medal is revealed ahead of race day. A local studio leads Yoga in the Square on Sunday morning. Audience In 2023 most of the field came from the home state: about 60% of attendees came from Georgia and 13% from Florida, with smaller groups from the Carolinas, Texas and the Northeast. The weekend is pitched to friends signing up together, and the official charity is Girls on the Run Coastal Georgia and Lowcountry, which runs a 10-week confidence and running program for elementary and middle school girls. Track record For 2022 the race counted more than 450 radio commercials, 80 thirty-second spots on WJCL television, 2.8 million print impressions from Runner's World, regional magazines and airport ads, 6.4 million online and 2.1 million on social media. Visit Savannah promoted it with a featured story to its 103,000 email opt-ins.
