The annual Enmarket Savannah Bridge Run will conquer the Talmadge Bridge this Saturday, December 3, with more than 3,500 runners registered for the event.

Known as “The South’s Toughest Bridge Run,” this Saturday in the Historic District, the Enmarket Savannah Bridge Run challenges participants to run once, twice, or three times over the city’s historic Talmadge Bridge.

The 2022 race weekend kicks off on Friday, December 2, with the Health & Wellness Expo at the Keho Ironworks Building in Trustees’ Gardens from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. The Expo will feature running and health-related vendors, merchandise, and visitor information.

The finish line is at the Intersection of Montgomery Street & W. Oglethorpe Ave. Attendees will also have a chance to win up to $400 during the Costume Contest! Awards will be given to the most creative person or group and will be judged by Bridge Run volunteers. There will be a Michelob Ultra post-race party at the North end of the Savannah Civic Center. Enjoy live music from Ocean Drive Party Band, great food, beer, and access to tons of shops and stores.

“With an average attendance of over 5,000 runners, the Enmarket Savannah Bridge Run continues to be one of the biggest events in Savannah every year,” said Savannah Sports Council’s Race Director, Marissa Guarnieri.  “With clear skies on the forecast, participants can expect ideal race conditions as they trek across the bridge.”
