Myrtle Beach Gears Up for a Special Weekend!
Get ready, Myrtle Beach! This weekend is going to be a memorable one as our lovely city hosts the seventh annual Tunnel to Towers Foundation Walk and 5K Run. It’s not just any race; it’s a beautiful way to honor our heroes and come together as a community. The event is all set to kick off on Sunday morning, so mark your calendars and lace up those running shoes!
Race Day Details
The 5K Run and walk are going to start at 8 a.m., and if you’re driving, be aware that some roads will be closed to keep those racers safe. The closures will happen from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., so plan your routes accordingly if you’re out and about. Here’s what you need to know:
- Road Closures: Expect some local roads to be blocked off during the event. Take a moment to map out an alternative route before heading out!
- Traffic Caution: Please keep an eye out for runners and walkers. They’ll be out there giving their all, and we want to make sure they’re safe!
A Cause Worth Supporting
This event is not just about getting from the start line to the finish line; it’s about something much bigger. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation works tirelessly to support our first responders, veterans, and their families. All the funds raised through the walk and run will go towards helping those who have sacrificed so much for our safety and freedom.
Whether you’re planning to run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, you’re taking part in something amazing that really makes a difference. Plus, it’s a great way to enjoy the beautiful Myrtle Beach weather!
What to Expect
If you’re participating, expect an incredible atmosphere filled with community spirit and camaraderie. Many locals and visitors alike will be joining in, and it’s a wonderful sight to see so many people come together for a good cause. Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes and bring your energy, as there will be plenty of fun along the way!
Oh, and if you’re not already registered, don’t worry! There might still be an opportunity to sign up on race day. Just check in early to avoid the last-minute rush!
The Weather Report
As for the weather this weekend? Well, it looks like it’ll be quite pleasant! With temperatures hanging around the low 80s on Saturday and dipping down to the high 70s on Sunday, it’s perfect for a morning run or walk. Just a heads-up, the early bird gets the worm (or in this case, the best weather), so don’t forget your sunscreen and perhaps a little water to keep hydrated.

So, Myrtle Beach, are you ready to lace up those sneakers, enjoy the sun, and run for a cause? Gather your friends and family, and make a day of it! Whether you’re walking, running, or simply supporting your fellow community members, it’s going to be an experience you won’t want to miss.
