Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Halloween Hustle
Halloween Hustle takes place in Conway, South Carolina, a town that renames itself “The City of Halloween” for October. The race begins at 2 Elm Street, offering participants three distances: a certified 10K, a certified 5K, and the Monster Mile. The 10K starts first in the morning, followed by the 5K, and the Monster Mile concludes the day's events.
The 10K and 5K courses wind through Conway’s streets, adorned for Halloween, and end on the Riverwalk. Participants aiming for the complete morning's challenge can register for all three races to receive a Bonus Challenge Medal. The finish area features Carolina BBQ, mac and cheese, toasted bread, and a beer garden. Virtual options for the 10K, 5K, Monster Mile, and the full challenge are also available.
17th Annual Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon & Coastal 5K
The Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon & Coastal 5K begins near 8th Avenue North and Ocean Boulevard, concluding with a view of the Atlantic on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. The primary event is a half marathon with a 3-hour-20-minute time limit. The Coastal 5K, a shorter alternative, starts soon after the half marathon. Both races provide a virtual participation choice for those who desire the race attire and distance without being physically present in Myrtle Beach. The course regulations are firm regarding obstructions: strollers, baby joggers, pets, skateboards, rollerblades, or unapproved bicycles are prohibited. Wheelchairs, mobility aids, and pre-approved service animals may participate with a designated start at the rear of the field.
The half marathon route includes over 5.5 miles along the oceanfront, followed by an out-and-back section on Burroughs and Chapin Boulevard. Route adjustments may occur due to road construction. Participants include casual runners, local athletes from Horry and Georgetown counties, age-group competitors, and elite runners competing for prize money in the half marathon. All finishers are awarded medals, long-sleeve tech shirts, and cinch bags. Post-race refreshments at the finish line include snacks, water, and Gatorade. The event concludes with a gathering at Grand Strand Brewing Company, offering pizza, beer or soda, and smoothies. The race also collaborates with Girls on the Run Coastal South Carolina and MB Fire Cares.
Graveyard Gallop 5K
The Graveyard Gallop 5K is a Halloween-themed road race in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. It begins at 4:00 pm from 758 Longwood Rd NW. The SOHO Running Club organizes this charity 5K to benefit the Grissettown Volunteer Fire Department. Both runners and walkers are welcome.
The course includes one water stop. Costumed volunteers will be stationed along the route and at the water stop. Following the race, the fire department will offer concessions. Participants with bibs receive a discount for the Haunted Trail. Strollers and pets are prohibited on the course.
Run Ocean Isle Beach 2026
Run Ocean Isle Beach takes place on a late-October weekend on Ocean Isle Beach, a coastal island in southeast North Carolina. The event offers runners four in-person race options: a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1 mile. Virtual race options are also available for the half marathon, 10K, and 5K. Late October weather typically averages a high of 75 degrees and a low of 56.
The half marathon route crosses the Intracoastal bridge, circles most of the island, and features sections with oceanfront views. The 5K is a flat course, suitable for runners seeking the beach-race atmosphere without the longer distance. This event is part of the BAM! Races series. The finisher swag includes soft tri-blend shirts and large medals; past medal designs have featured surfboards, flip flops, glass, lockets, pirate themes, mosaics, and connecting pieces.
Conway Stars & Strides | Presented by Beach Automotive
Conway Stars & Strides is a November Veterans Day run in historic downtown Conway, South Carolina. The 5K starts at 8:00 AM, followed by a 1 Mile race ten minutes later. Presented by Beach Automotive, this local event honors military service, with participants choosing between the 5K or the mile distance.
The race features a patriotic theme. Participants are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue and carry flags while running in support of local veterans. All participants receive a patriotic race shirt and a finisher medal. The 5K offers awards for the top three overall male and female finishers. Donations benefit DAV Chapter 57, the Disabled American Veterans chapter in Conway.
18th Annual Rotary Club of Little River 5K
The Rotary Club of Little River 5K begins at the Little River Waterfront in South Carolina. This annual 5K run/walk includes runners and walkers on the same event schedule. It is part of the Grand Strand Running Club Grand Prix series and kicks off the Rotary Club Holiday Challenge, extending the race's significance beyond a single local morning event.
The course is designed for simplicity, featuring minimal turns and concluding along the Little River waterfront. A 1-mile option is available on some listings, making the event more accessible for families or less experienced participants. The primary additional incentive is the two-race Rotary challenge: participants completing both the Little River race and the Rotary Club of Conway 5K receive an 18-ounce Yeti Rambler mug.
33rd Annual Pawleys Island Turtle Strut 5K/8K Run/Walk presented by Pawleys Island Realty
The Pawleys Island Turtle Strut begins at Pawleys Island Town Hall in South Carolina, featuring both 5K and 8K run/walk options. This local event, now in its 33rd year, is presented by Pawleys Island Realty.
Participants can select the 5K or 8K course, with a virtual participation choice available for those off the island. The race honors Chief Guy Osborne, adding a local dedication to the event's format.
17th Annual Surfside Beach Turkey Trot 5K presented by Maguire Law Firm
The Surfside Beach Turkey Trot, presented by Maguire Law Firm, is a Thanksgiving morning 5K run/walk. The main race begins at 8:00 a.m. This event marks its 17th year and also features a free 50-yard Gobbler Kids' Dash at 9:00 a.m., allowing families to include younger children in the morning's activities without requiring them to participate in the full 5K.
The 5K course begins with an ocean view, proceeds along Ocean Blvd., and then winds through the streets of Surfside Beach. Both runners and walkers participate, but the course has specific restrictions: strollers, baby joggers, skateboards, roller blades, and animals are prohibited, and there is no water stop along the route. Overall awards are determined by gun timing, while age-group awards use chip timing.
20th Annual Myrtle Beach Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk presented by United Bank
The North Myrtle Beach Turkey Trot is a 3.1-mile Thanksgiving 5K run/walk held at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This is a timed race, designed for both walkers and runners, and includes a separate 50-yard Gobbler Kids' Dash for children.
The event embraces the holiday theme, encouraging participants to wear costumes alongside their running attire. The course prohibits pets, though ADA-recognized service animals are allowed. Race information provides practical details like elevation data, entry requirements, and an athlete guide.
8th Annual North Myrtle Beach Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk
The North Myrtle Beach Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning 5K run/walk held at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The main race begins at 8:00 a.m., welcoming both runners and walkers. A free 50-yard Gobbler Kids' Dash follows at 9:00 a.m.; online registration is required for children. Costumes are encouraged. 5K participants receive a medal and a shirt while supplies last, and Kids' Dash finishers get a small gift.
The 5K course consists of two loops around Barefoot Landing and lacks a water stop, so participants should plan accordingly before the start. Awards are given three deep for overall male and female finishers, first place for masters male and female, and three deep in age groups from 10-and-under through 80-plus. The Kids' Dash is untimed for awards. The race benefits the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach, though pets are not permitted on the course; ADA-recognized service animals are allowed per race rules.
Plantation Lakes Turkey Trot | Presented by JTE Real Estate
The Plantation Lakes Turkey Trot, a Thanksgiving road race in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is presented by JTE Real Estate. It includes a 5K and a 1.6 km race, allowing participants to select a standard short race or a shorter, family-friendly distance.
The race begins at 8000 Juxa Drive in Myrtle Beach's Plantation Lakes neighborhood. Past results indicate it is a road race with a manual wave start, suggesting a local, neighborhood-focused event designed for residents, walkers, and holiday morning participation rather than a large competitive field.
City of Conway Under the Lights 5k Run/Walk
The City of Conway Under the Lights 5K Run/Walk is an annual evening holiday race in Downtown Conway, South Carolina, hosted by Conway Parks & Recreation. It is a 5K for runners and walkers, with a 700-person cap and a start at 4th and Elm Street. All participants receive a race packet and finisher medal. Late and same-day registrants receive shirts while supplies last.
The course guides participants through downtown past holiday light displays. The route may be adjusted due to street flooding. Participants are encouraged to wear holiday outfits for a costume contest with awards for the top three best dressed. Standard 5K awards are given for overall male and female, masters winners, and age groups from 10-and-under through 80-plus, based on gun time.

Grand Strand Base Miles
Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, SC hosts 23 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Myrtle Beach gives runners beach running with an ocean view across 60 miles of coastline, so Z2 miles can feel easy even when the sand makes them honest. The beach run goes 9 miles and turns at Cherry Grove Pier. Grand Park at The Market Common gives a 2-mile paved runner’s path, while Central Park gives a quarter-mile loop and McLean Park gives a half-mile loop. Grand Strand Running Club, Black Dog Running Company, and Fleet Feet Myrtle Beach keep the week social. Anchor races include the 20th Annual Myrtle Beach Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk and the 17th Annual Independence Day 5K Run/Walk.
Riders get the same coastal engine room, with Ocean Boulevard, Ocean Drive, and the East Coast Greenway carrying steady base miles along the Grand Strand. Grand Strand Bicycle Club and Myrtle Beach Cycling Community keep the scene connected, even as GSBC postponed Bike the Beach for 2025. The ride from Garden City to Pawleys Island covers 6 miles, and the Grand Strand section of the East Coast Greenway gives over 21 protected, well-marked miles. The Hulk gives 7+ miles of winding, moderately technical singletrack for cyclocross legs and dirt skills. 34 km.
The Grand Strand works year-round because the climate stays mild, but locals treat spring and fall like the cleanest blocks for intervals, long runs, and gran fondo miles. Summer brings heat, beach life, and thousands of J1 students using traditional bicycles, e-bikes, and e-scooters to get around the beach. Runners shift toward early starts, shaded bits near North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex, and sand sessions before the day fills in. Cyclists lean into morning Z2 on Ocean Boulevard, Waccamaw Neck Bikeway, and the Conway Riverwalk. Winter keeps both sports rolling, while Myrtle Beach State Park shifts to 6am-8pm from December through February.
