Who want’s to be an Idiot? Complete the 19.7-Mile Fellowship of the Idiot Run and you will become a certified Idiot.
The Fellowship of the Idiot Run is a 19.7-Mile Run that takes runners from the YMCA to the top of Morrow Mountain and back to the YMCA. It is a non-timed event. Donations and FOTI Apparel purchases are greatly appreciated.
1) The Fellowship of the Idiot Run is held three weeks before the Myrtle Beach Marathon and two weeks before the Ellerbe Marathon to give you a fun, long training run to get your miles in.
2) This year we are allowing a one-hour start window. You can start anytime between 5:00 am and 6:00 am. More importantly, you need to be finished by 9:45 am. So here’s a pace indicator to figure when you would need to start to complete by 9:45.
If you run an 11:25 per mile pace, you can start as late as 6:00 am and complete the run by 9:45.
If you run a 12:57 per mile pace you can start as late as 5:30 am and complete the run by 9:45.
If you run a 14:28 per mile pace you will need to start at 5:00 am to complete the run.
Basically, if you are running faster than an 11:25 pace, you can start anytime between 5:00 and 6:00 and complete the run by 9:45.
3) There will be a free idiot shirt for new runners and there will be new awesome premium cool line up of apparel for purchase at the Idiot Store!
Those that complete their first Fellowship of the Idiot Run earn a Fellowship of the Idiot t-shirt and are suitable for framing certificate. In addition, you will get your name on the Fellowship of the Idiot wall at Vac & Dash.
If you are training for a half-marathon, or want to get in a shorter run, there are 12-mile and 14-mile options on the down and back course. Turn around at the corner of Valley Drive and Morrow Mountain Road for the 12-Mile Run. Turn around at the front gate of Morrow Mountain State Park and you will have a run a little over 14-miles. (For clarification, you must run the entire 19.7 Mile Idiot Run course to earn the t-shirt and certificate.)

There is no swag (with the exception of the shirt & certificate for the first timer) but they do have shirts and other items available for purchase.
The Fellowship of the Idiot Run is a free 19.7-Mile Run that takes runners from the YMCA to the top of Morrow Mountain and back to the YMCA. It is a non-timed event. There is no charge for the run. For a free event, there is plenty of support along the way. First time “idiots” get a t-shirt and certificate. Since the run starts at 5 am, runners can get to the top of Morrow Mountain in time for a beautiful sunrise. This is a fun way to get in a long run and fits the training schedule perfectly for anyone training for the Myrtle Beach Marathon three weeks later.
