The Myrtle Beach Marathon kicks off at 6:30 a.m., Saturday, March 5, on Grissom Parkway and travels 26.2 miles through the city. Plan ahead if you must drive during the race, and leave extra time to get to your destination. Be prepared to share the road with runners. Expect congestion and delays between 4:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., especially along Kings Highway, Ocean Boulevard, Farrow Parkway and Grissom Parkway. Use US 17 (the “bypass”) for north/south travel. If possible, avoid the following intersections:

· 21st Avenue North and Grissom Parkway
· 29th Avenue North and Grissom Parkway
