11th annual BI-LO Myrtle Beach Marathon

The Grand Strand gets ready to host its 11th annual BI-LO Myrtle Beach Marathon.
Crews are setting up the marathon headquarters at the Marriott Grand Dunes Resort.
A merchandise and sponsor expo will be open to runners Thursday evening and all day Friday.
"We hope to have 8,000 runners pass through our expo to meet all the vendors we have on our premises. It's going to be very exciting, very busy, it will be wall to wall people in the ballroom," said Marathon Expo director, John Nolan.
Runners can pick up their information packets from the Marriott starting at 5:00 p.m. Thursday.
The marathon, half-marathon and marathon relay are sold out. The proceeds go toward charities.
