2020 EVENT WILL BE VIRTUAL ONLY.
***
The Divas® Half Marathon & 5K Series is the most fun and glam women’s running series in the nation.
Why pay for a tour of the city’s best areas when you can do it on your feet! This Divas Half Marathon course starts right on Ocean Blvd heading south towards Atlantic Beach, one of the Grand Strand’s most historical areas. While on these first 3 miles you will remember those crazy wild days on college Spring Break when you dreamed of that perfect beachfront community. As you turn inland at 25th Ave S you will now encounter one of the most picturesque beach-side residential communities right before coming upon Main Street, the SHAG capital of the world! Right after Main you will take a trip down millionaire row featuring some of the most beautiful homes in North Myrtle Beach. And because this is also the leisure capital, we will then make sure you get to see some very green and manicured golf course areas, bringing you back to the finish line on hotel row, back on Ocean Blvd. If you have never visited North Myrtle Beach, but have always dreamed of a beachside perfect town, this is the destination for you!
The amazing 5K course was designed to bring you the best of North Myrtle Beach. If you are not yet ready for the 13.1 challenge but you are a running diva or a diva lover (for all the handsome casanovas), this race is for you. Enjoy a great run and an amazing and empowering experience or support the leading lady in your life!

Great Swag!

The heat can be a factor. While there was no sun, the humidity was stifling. Be sure to train in the heat. Do not count on running with a pacer. They are not set apart and the run does not start by pace times. I did not see a pacer at all. Although, they were supposedly there (yellow shirts?). Walkers start in the middle of the runners and you will definitely run upon them at the start. Just because you start on ocean boulevard, don’t think that you will see the ocean because you will not — that was very disappointing. Expo was great. Shirts run very small — make sure you order a size larger than you would normally wear. The medals are awesome!

This is a super-fun girl’s race. You can see the ocean for parts of it and the city for the other parts of it. The crowd support was great. And, I have to say, I love the guys who run this, especially if they are in tutus.
I ran this with my little girl, a friend of mine, and her little girls. We wore signs on our backs supporting our T1D runner and the runners behind us cheered their support for our cause. Talk about feeling the love.
This is a great race to run with friends and family. Never have I seen so many first time 5K’ers or first time half marathoners. There were also tons of “survivors” running this celebration of whatever they survived – again, feeling the love all around.
At the end, you get champagne (or juice, for the kids), and the beautiful medals are hung around your necks by the hunkiest guys you can ever imagine. (Hold on while I get this fainting spell under control…..!!)
Great bling. Great fun.

Made this race into a family vacation. The expo was fun and the finish was so much fun. I got my medal from a life guard while my underage daughter chose a medieval knight. The course went through neighborhoods and the locals were happy to cheer on all the runners.
My husband has been to many of my races and still refers to the Divas ‘ MC as the most informative and entertaining he’s seen at a race.
