The Bi-Lo Myrtle Beach Marathon and half marathon are being delayed 30 minutes due to the threat of snow.
Marathon officials met with Myrtle Beach city officials just a short time ago and decided that for the safety of the runners, delaying the start of the marathon and half marathon until 7:00am was necessary, saying at least at 7:00am there would be more light, making it less risky for runners.
The races were scheduled to begin at 6:30am Saturday morning.
The 5K and Fun Run will go on as scheduled Friday night.
Marathon officials will meet again at 5:00pm this evening to decide if further delays or a possible cancellation is warranted. You can get updates by calling 843-293-RACE.
