St. Patrick's Day Run Fest

March 15, 2008

Start/Finish at DockSiders Grille, Barefoot Resort

North Myrtle Beach, SC

Race Completes Before Storm Arrives

The storm that brought tornadoes to Atlanta and the Coastal area of South Carolina was predicted to arrive in the late afternoon or early evening. Late afternoon would have put it during the St Patrick's Day Run! Fortunately the first rain drops held off until after the Run was completed.

Fifteen year old Robert Maughan of Fayetteville, NC was the overall winner in a time of 17:51; Susan Kramer of Harrisburg, PA was the female overall winner at 20:44. Anthony Ivey, 19:09, of Tabor City and Mary Johnson, 25:59, of North Myrtle Beach were the respective Male and Female Masters winners.

Since this was the first year for the event, they are all course record holders.

Runners started and finished along the Inland Waterway at DockSider's Grill in Barefoot Resorts, North Myrtle Beach. Many runners commented favorably on the course even though they were greeted by headwinds on the return part of this out-and-back course. Click to see course.

Thanks to DockSider's Grille, the new Super BI-LO at the Beach, and Barefoot Resorts for supporting this North Myrtle Beach event.
