Myrtle Beach Marathon
Huge annual event (Mar)
Myrtle Beach Marathon is set for the first weekend in March each year. This is a qualifier for the famed Boston Marathon.
Besides the 26.2-miler there are also a half-marathon, a marathon team relay, a 5k run and a one-mile fun run.
This is not a closed course, so there are some restrictions as to strollers and headphones for safety reasons. The race starts at 21st Avenue and Grissom Parkway and ends at the Ticket Return.com Field parking lot.
