2024 Myrtle Beach was a memorable one!

A very well supported race from the police presence to the aid station volunteers. The weather cooperated for us in 2024 with light rain that dissipated quickly. Foggy as we ran along the beach on the boardwalk. The Marathon and half started together but from the front of the pack perspective it wasn't a big deal after the first 400m or so. Enjoyed the cheer zones and the quiet stretches as we explored the Myrtle Beach area. Just a little beware.. there is a serious crown to the road around miles 10-12 or so. Nice big finisher medal. The post-race food could have been improved but understandable given the size of the event it can't be a free for all. The post race beer included (2) should have been something local rather than BudWiser that was my biggest beef with the event.

Well Organized Race

The start line was great. The finish line was so-so. Cold pizza for slower runners and a walk to and from the stadium that took forever. Disappointing end to an otherwise nice day.

Decent Mid-Sized Marathon with Good Organization

I ran the Myrtle Beach Marathon at a time where races that did happen had modifications. Race organizers made a reasonable effort to create a safe event that year. The course was decent with good scenery. Although the race was postponed two months the year I ran it due to COVID, it's usually in March. That allows for noticeably cooler temperatures, which is a must for the warm and humid Southeast.
