Girl Scout Island Ultra
The Girl Scout Island Ultra is a trail race weekend at Rose Dhu Island Camp in Savannah, Georgia, held November 20–22, 2026, with race days on November 21 and 22. The event offers multiple distance options and a mix of solo and team formats on island trails.
Distances offered:
- 10K
- 50K
- 50K relay (maximum 5 people per team)
- 100K
- 100 mile
The course is a measured 6.25 mile loop, certified using a calibrated walking wheel. It is described as non-technical and relatively flat with occasional roots. Runners must cross a timing mat with a chip each lap; the event uses live chip timing and on-course results display. Lap counts are set for each distance (for example 10K equals one loop).
On-site amenities and services include on-island camping options such as cabins, perches, and elevated tent platforms with access to showers and bathrooms; reservations are first come, first served and cover Friday check-in through Sunday checkout. Ultra distance participants may use primitive and vehicle camping at no cost with prior notification to the Race Director. RVs are not allowed and all vehicles must park in designated areas. A 10 x 10 canopy is permitted in designated aid areas and must be secured.
No pets are allowed on the island. There is a curfew: no entering Rose Dhu Island after midnight; reentry begins at 6am. Pacers must register, wear a pacer bib, and are permitted after 50 miles except for participants over 70 or those who are pregnant, who may have a pacer beginning at mile 30.
Finisher medals are awarded for all distances; 100 mile finishers receive a buckle. Top three female and top three male finishers are recognized in 10K, 50K, 100K, and 100 mile. Relay awards include top team and top team under 18. Proceeds support the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia and Rose Dhu Island. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
