Race Ambassadors

Race Ambassador Program

Want to be part of the crew that brings the hype, the smiles, and the island energy all the way to race day? The Daufuskie Island Marathon & Half Race Ambassador Program is open for applications through April 30, 2026.

​

We select 3 Marathon Ambassadors and 3 Half Marathon Ambassadors. Ambassadors are chosen based on average pace, experience, and social media presence. You do not have to be "fast" or "slow" because we are looking for a variety of paces and people who genuinely love the running community.

What's required of Ambassadors

As an Ambassador, you'll help support and promote the race in a few key ways:

​

  • Promote the Daufuskie Island Marathon & Half on social media and in running groups

  • Share your personal discount code and encourage others to register

  • Attend a group run on Daufuskie Island (not required if you live outside of state)

  • Hype runners before the race in Runner Village and help build excitement race weekend

  • Run the Daufuskie Island Marathon or Half (as selected)

  • Wear your Ambassador tank or shirt to group runs and while promoting the race

Sherry Feathers

8x Daufuskie Island Marathon & Half Veteran

If you don’t know Sherry yet, you will. She’s the spunky definition of “80 years young” and brings the best kind of energy to every race weekend. A Savannah, Georgia native, Sherry has been married for 53 years, raised three children, and now proudly enjoys life as “Mimi” to seven grandchildren, along with Thor and her beloved grand-dogs.

​

Sherry’s favorite distance is the half marathon, and she’s also a board member of the Savannah Striders. She’s a true community builder, known for rallying runners together and making a lasting positive impact through coaching, volunteering, and sharing her experiences.

​

Her passion extends far beyond the finish line. Sherry is a dedicated advocate for youth and community service organizations including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Girls on the Run, Relay for Life, The Fresh Air Home, and Tunnels to Towers. When you see her on race morning, be sure to give her a cheer, you’ll be inspired.
