Event
The Myrtle Beach 24 Hour is a 24-hour endurance run held January 24-25, 2026 in The Market Common area of Myrtle Beach, SC. The event is organized by the City of Myrtle Beach’s Parks, Recreation and Sports Tourism Department and is the first edition of this race. The start/finish is located at 1119 Farrow Parkway.
Course
The course is a USATF certified, paved loop of 1.0806 miles. The loop runs along the multipurpose path near the lake and Farrow Parkway and remains open to the public on race day, so runners should expect non-racing walkers and joggers on the loop. Directional signs and portapotties will be available on the course.
Facilities and rules
A designated tent city allows 10x10 canopies only; no camping tents and no propane heaters are permitted. Canopies may be set up on race morning beginning at 5 a.m. There is no parking directly on the course; nearby parking includes a lot at the end of Forbus Ct and on-street spaces along several Market Common roads. Chip timing will be used, with the timing chip affixed to the back of the bib and instructions to place the bib on the front of the body. A live leaderboard will update as runners cross the loop.
Services and awards
An aid station at the start/finish will offer snacks, water, electrolyte drinks, and hot food. Pacers are allowed one at a time after 3 p.m.; pacers must sign a waiver at the timing tent. Finishers of 100 miles or more receive a buckle; other finishers receive a medal. Awards will go to the top three men and top three women. Refunds or deferral to 2027 are available.
