The event features live music and entertainment at every mile, including DJs, bands, drummers, bag pipers and cheer squads. An after party follows the race with a beer garden and Carolina BBQ; race bibs include tickets for beer and BBQ. All finishers receive custom themed medals: the half marathon medal is a 6" guitar pic with a spinning guitar arm, the 10K medal is 5" with a spinning pot of gold, and the 5K medal is 4" with a spinning base drum. Participants receive a tri-blend unisex shirt at packet pickup.
Packet pickup is held on the Friday before the race at J. Bryan Floyd Community Center (1030 Possum Trot Rd, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582) and is mandatory; a friend may pick up a packet on a participant’s behalf. An emergency race-day pickup near the start line is available as a last resort.
The event offers a virtual option; virtual packets are mailed within two weeks after the race. Virtual registration is required to receive mailed swag; transfers to virtual must be made at least seven days before the event and include a $15 processing fee.
Parking is organized in two large lots near Main Street. Expect road closures and partial closures on race morning. The event typically relies on a large volunteer team; organizers note a need for over 100 volunteers. Results are posted online, and RaceJoy tracking is provided for the half marathon.
