Event Overview

Course & Terrain

Fixed-time road ultra on a certified paved loop in The Market Common area.

Key course features to know before comparing this race:

• USATF-certified 1.08-mile paved loop
• The Market Common area of Myrtle Beach
• Annual city-organized endurance run

The paved loop is simple to navigate and efficient for crews, but road impact can build quickly over 24 hours.

February coastal weather can range from mild to cold, rainy, or windy, especially overnight.

The 24-hour race guide covers the format as a whole. These guides go deeper:

• 24-hour races explained: How the format works and what to compare before entering.
• How to train for a 24-hour race: Progression, walking, night-gear practice, fueling and tapering.

Best Fit

• Runners who want an approachable paved-loop 24-hour race
• First-time fixed-time runners who prefer city access
• Athletes practicing road-ultra pacing and crew routines

Planning Notes

• Start conservatively and use flexible process checkpoints for effort, walking, food, fluid, alertness, and symptoms instead of forcing one hourly distance target.
• Repetitive surfaces can expose fit, friction, and loading problems. Check in when symptoms or conditions change, and use only footwear already tested for the course.
• The directory marks this as having comparatively simpler logistics. That editorial label is not a safety rating; verify cutoffs, terrain, support, crew access, and withdrawal procedures.
