“This is a marathon that is the first of its type in its country. This is a meaningful time for the marathon, and it will have limited disruption to the business on the route,” said Savannah Mayor Van Johnson.

This announcement comes after the city took a hiatus from hosting the Rock-and-Roll Marathon two years ago.
