5K preteky v blízkosti Surfside Beach

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.

Takže, ten Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon & Coastal 5K má štart pri 8th Avenue North a Ocean Boulevard, a dobieha sa s výhľadom na Atlantic rovno na Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. Hlavná udalosť je klasický half marathon, na ktorý máš časový limit 3 hodiny 20 minút. Coastal 5K, čo je kratšia alternatíva, odštartuje hneď po half maratóne. Oba preteky ponúkajú aj možnosť virtuálnej účasti, ak by si chcel/a len to pretekárske oblečenie a zabehnúť si vzdialenosť, ale nechceš byť priamo v Myrtle Beach. Pravidlá trate sú dosť prísne, čo sa týka prekážok: kočíky, detské vozíky, zvieratá, skateboardy, kolieskové korčule alebo neschválené bicykle sú na trati zakázané. Invalidné vozíky, pomôcky na pohyb a vopred schválené asistenčné zvieratá sa môžu zúčastniť, ale štart majú vyhradený vzadu v štartovom poli. Trať half maratónu vedie viac ako 5.5 miles popri oceáne, a potom je tam úsek tam a späť na Burroughs and Chapin Boulevard. Trasa sa môže ešte upraviť, ak by bola niekde cestná výstavba. Zúčastňujú sa aj bežní rekreační bežci, miestni atléti z Horry and Georgetown counties, pretekári z vekových kategórií, ale aj elitní bežci, ktorí idú v half maratóne bojovať o prize money. Všetci, čo dobehnú, dostanú medaily, technické tričká s dlhým rukávom a také tie vaky na stiahnutie. Po pretekoch v cieli bude občerstvenie – nejaké snacky, voda a Gatorade. Celá akcia končí posedením v Grand Strand Brewing Company, kde bude pizza, pivo alebo nealko a smoothies. Pretek spolupracuje aj s Girls on the Run Coastal South Carolina a MB Fire Cares.

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.
