BI-LO Myrtle Beach Marathon

11th Annual BI-LO Myrtle Beach Marathon is coming into town and they're bringing lots of business with them.
Runners have been coming and going from the Marriott Grande Dunes Resort all week. Nearly 11,000 runners will be in town this weekend.
The marathon should pump more than $16 million into the local economy and the timing couldn't be better.
February is a slow time and runners can get great rates on hotels.
The economic impact will be felt long after the race is over. On their 26.2 mile hike, they'll see what Myrtle Beach has to offer and likely return for a second time.
The marathon, half-marathon and relay are sold out but there is still room in the fun run 5k and bike run.
