YMCA Critz Tybee Run Fest is coming up on February 2-3. Join us on Tybee Island, Georgia for the Critz Tybee Run festival where Friday is the Taste, and Saturday is the Test. A running event like no other! Run one, two, three, or all 5 events. If you choose to run them all the distances add up to 26.2… a full marathon!
Race weekend begins with the Bernie’s Oyster House 5K at 6 p.m. Friday followed by the Collins Quarter 10K at 7 a.m. Saturday morning. The Chu’s Mart Half-Marathon at 8:30 a.m. and the noon Lighthouse Pizza 2.8-Mile Beach Run, wrapping up with the West Construction Company One-Mile Run at 1 p.m., will complete the weekend marathon. Friday night will also host a Kiddie Run starting at 5:30 p.m. with one start line for beginning runners and a second start line for intermediate runners. This year, packet pick-up will take place at the race site beginning Friday at 2 p.m. and continue throughout the weekend.
Our happy little houses by the sea are in the running to help you prep for the big race and to be your places of rest and recovery once you’ve crossed the finish line. Our kitchens are stocked with everything you need to serve up your favorite carb loads and our beds will ensure you get the sleep you need. Our Mermaids have everything ready.
