About the Rockin Around Broadway

The course runs through Broadway at the Beach, a large entertainment and shopping complex on the Myrtle Beach waterfront. The route had not been finalized when this was written, so the exact layout is still coming, but the setting puts you among storefronts, restaurants, and open plazas rather than on open roads. Awards go deep into age groups, so competitive runners have real categories to race into.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at a location to be announced, with a race-morning window as a backup. Parking at the complex is plentiful, and a full event map is expected to be released in the weeks before the race.

Common Questions About the Rockin Around Broadway

Will I finish last at the Rockin Around Broadway?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Rockin Around Broadway a good first 5K?

A field of 286 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Rockin Around Broadway?

The 5K winner ran 18:12 while the median finisher took 35:26. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
