About the Robbie Jordan Memorial Race

The Robbie Jordan Memorial Race runs as a memorial event out of the Carolina Forest Recreation Center, with the start and finish lines sharing the same spot on the recreation center grounds. The course follows paved surroundings through that part of Myrtle Beach, keeping things manageable underfoot. Chip timing handles the results, and age division awards go deep into the field.

Parking is at the Carolina Forest Recreation Center. Packet pickup runs at two locations the day before, first at a government center in Conway and then back at the recreation center that afternoon. Race-morning pickup opens at the recreation center shortly before the start.

Common Questions About the Robbie Jordan Memorial Race

Will I finish last at the Robbie Jordan Memorial Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 52:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:22:01, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Robbie Jordan Memorial Race a good first 5K?

It is a small race (184 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Robbie Jordan Memorial Race?

The 5K winner ran 18:42 while the median finisher took 52:20. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
