Publix Savannah Women's Half and 5K

Publix Savannah Women's Half and 5K is a women's road event held in Savannah, in Chatham County, Georgia, on April 3, 2027. Both the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the 5K start at 7:15 a.m., and the routes take runners past the city's squares, its parks, and streets lined with centuries-old oaks.

Two distances at one start time make this an easy event to enter with a friend who runs at a different level: you set off together and meet again afterward. For the half, a 12- to 16-week build with a weekly long run climbing to 10 or 11 miles is the standard route in, and a couple of runs at goal pace will make the middle miles feel more familiar. The 5K needs far less and suits a first race, a comeback, or a fast morning if you are already fit.
