Myrtle Beach Marathon: Estimated Times of Road Closures

The upcoming Myrtle Beach Marathon will draw around 4,000 runners to the area! Residents and visitors are advised to plan ahead for potential road closures and traffic congestion along the race route. Consider using a wayfinding app for alternative routes. Those parking along Ocean Boulevard on Friday evening should park on the west side for easy access on Saturday. Motorists seeking to travel north or south are encouraged to use U.S. Highway 17, known locally as "the bypass," as it is unaffected by the race route.
