Savannah Rails to Trails Ultra 2016

Welcome to the 4th Savannah Rails to Trails Ultra!
The race will start and end in Ft. Pulaski National Monument.

This year's course spans a 7.75 mile loop that begins in Ft. Pulaski, takes you around Cockspur Island and then leaves the Ft. behind and enters the McQueen's Island trail (Rails to Trails) where you will follow it for 1.75 miles before the turn around and then, head back to Fort Pulaski.

The distances offered for this event are 50k, 25k, 12k and 50k relay.
The McQueen's Island Historical Trail (RTT) and Ft. Pulaski are two very beautiful locations to run! Once you run Savannah's Rails to Trails you'll see why we so desire to save it!.
