James Dunbar's thoughts:

This is a great race in a very popular vacation spot so it's quite well attended. Swag is terrific with nice medals, including nice age group award medals, two shirts, and a decent Expo that in 2019 was held at a Dave and Busters and allowed you to play free video games for hours if you had a bib.

Post race party is absolutely awesome other than they have a tendency to run out of beer before all the marathoners finish. There's also been a Ketel One Vodka tent set up that serves up free samples of various Ketel One flavored vodkas. Bonus!!!

Post race food freebies are the norm like water, bananas, granola bars, but where they step it up is with Krispy Kreme, Mellow Mushroom Pizza, Sun Chips and a couple other things you don't normally see.

Tables for the post race party are difficult to obtain, but if you can get one, the live band is usally really good. You'll also receive free entry and 1 free drink to one of the big bars at Broadway at the Beach if you bring your bib the night of the race.

This event is a lot of fun and is great for meeting people from all over the place, many knocking out their one race in South Carolina on their quest to do all 50 states.

Be aware, the course is very close to the ocean so it can be super, super windy some years. Temps are usually nice for running a marathon...50's with humidity not really affecting.
