About the race
Dark Anchor is a multi-distance ultra hosted on Jekyll Island, Georgia, by the YETI Trail Runners. Runners choose from 25K, 50K, 80 miles, 100K, or 100 miles, looping a flat, soft 3.0-mile course around the island. The event operates under a 34-hour time limit, with a central aid station and a crew-optional setup.
A playful highlight is touching the legendary Pepsi Machine each lap. Zen Arcade Timing provides chip timing with live tracking. The race emphasizes community, progress, and resilience—“hope as an anchor”—inviting participants to unite in support and refuse to sink.
Set among island oaks, it blends island atmosphere with a supportive, community-led challenge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
