Course & Travel Notes

January in Savannah brings mild weather with typical highs around 61°F and lows near 40°F, so pack layers and a light jacket to adjust as you warm up during the race; there's about a 27% chance of rain that day, so consider bringing a rain shell just in case. The 15th Annual MLK 5k/10k takes place at just 16 feet of elevation, making it relatively flat and accessible for most runners. Sunrise occurs at 7:25 AM, shortly before the 8:00 AM start time, so you'll have good early-morning light. Hunter Army Air Field (SVN) is your nearest airport, located 8.2 miles from the venue.
