Scheduled for March 7, 2026, the Myrtle Beach Marathon is a top-tier spring destination race known for its flat and fast course along the iconic Grand Strand coastline. Runners can choose from the full marathon, half marathon, or 5K, with each course offering scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean, popular beachfront landmarks like Ocean Boulevard, The Market Common, and Family Kingdom Amusement Park, and crowd support throughout. The full marathon is Boston Marathon qualifying and ideal for personal bests, thanks to low average temperatures (~11 °C / 50s °F) and minimal elevation change. Hosted by Capstone Event Group, the race features chip timing, pace groups, aid stations every 2 miles, and a post-race celebration at Pelicans Ballpark, making it one of the East Coast’s most runner-friendly marathons.
