Saint Simons Christian School partners with the Jekyll Island Authority to sponsor the 8th annual Under the Oaks Run, with a 13.1 half marathon, 10K and 5K races on Columbus Day weekend. Courses are USATF certified and all three races are USATF sanctioned so that both casual and competitive runners may enjoy each event. The Half Marathon route will take you along a beautiful stretch of the ocean, under majestic live oaks in historic Millionaire's Village, and then along the marsh and riverfront of the Golden Isles. The 10K route also travels along the ocean then turns toward the historic district and on to the riverfront. The 5K is mapped along a scene course including tree canopied, wide bike paths, as well as scenic ocean views - a great course for all ages. Finisher medals for all runners.
