Course & Travel Notes

The Waterbridge 5K & 1 Mile Family Fun Run kicks off at 8:00 AM on September 13, 2026, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, so you'll have plenty of daylight since sunrise is at 6:58 AM. Flying in? Myrtle Beach International Airport is just 5.6 miles from the venue, making it super convenient to get to the race. Pack layers for early morning and be ready for warm weather—September averages a high of 85°F and a low of 66°F, though there's about a 27% chance of rain that time of year, so bring an umbrella just in case. The venue sits at a modest 39 feet elevation, so no altitude adjustments needed for your training plan.
