There are two weeks left to sign-up for theĀ Bi-Lo Myrtle Beach Marathon.

Promotions Director Mike Shank says there are still spots left.

Events start February 16, with the marathon and half marathon scheduled for February 18.

Organizers added about 500 spots to both the marathon and the half this year, meaning about 8,000 people will run in those two races alone. There's also a 5K and a fun run.

Shank says compared to this time last year, they have 300 more people signed up.

Last year, there was an internet glitch that caused results to be delayed. Organizers say they've figured out what caused the problem and its been fixed.
