December 22, 2014

In most people’s minds, the ideal Valentine Day in Myrtle Beach might involve a romantic dinner for two, a live show at one of the many local theaters, and maybe a late-night drink and dessert at a bar or coffee house before returning to your oceanfront room. Running for 26.2 miles and sweating like crazy in the dead of winter usually doesn’t make the list.
But this year, with the 18th Annual MyrtleBeach.com Myrtle Beach Marathon falling on Feb. 14, that’s exactly what more than 5,000 runners have in mind when they invade the streets of the Grand Strand. Forget about flowers and chocolates and bring on the power gel and water, and make that romantic meal a heaping helping of pasta as participants carb load for the race.
But it’s the love of running that brings them back every year, and it was that same passion for the sport by five local runners that brought this popular event to town in 1998. Local organizers also happen to be dedicated runners who formed a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society “Team in Training” group in the mid 1990s. They traveled to races all over the country, turning marathons into opportunities to travel visit and explore other cities. It didn’t take long for them to realize that Myrtle Beach would be the perfect place to host a race, so they returned home to start planning the first Myrtle Beach Marathon.
