Ready to run? Myrtle Beach is one of the best places in the country to host a race in the spring time. The weather is dependable, the terrain isn’t too crazy (unless race organizers want it to be), and, of course, this is the kind of place people want to visit.

So for all the runners out there, we’ve pulled together a selection of the races coming up on the Grand Strand. Check them out, and make your plans now to come to Myrtle Beach to get your race on!
