Since 1998, the BI-LO Myrtle Beach Marathon has assisted the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of South Carolina and the Horry County Chapter of the American Red Cross with raising almost $3 million in charitable contributions! What's more the marathon, and all other related events, are produced entirely by unpaid staff! On race weekend, over 1,000 volunteers are needed to aid participants with registration, shirt hand-out, water, food, aid-stations and procedures at the finish line. 
So if you're like me and you're not ready for a marathon, half-marathon or even a 5-k come on down to beautiful Myrtle Beach, and enjoy our clear blue skies while volunteering for a very worthy cause. Volunteers receive a free t-shirt, free entrance fee, complimentary food, fun and drinks at one of the two after-parties and the gratitude of Horry County!
