The Market Common Triathlon, organized bt the Beach Triathlon Club, will be a unique type of race. According to the proposed route for the event on Sept. 28, racers would swim 250 yards, bike 6 miles and run 1.5 miles. The race will start with a 250-yard swim at the new Market Common pool. The swim will be followed by a six-mile bike ride beginning at the Myrtle Beach Fire Station, and a 1.5-mile run beginning at Deville Street and Phillips Blvd. Runners will run on Deville Street twice, to complete the distance. Round two will consist of a 150-yard lazy river swim, six-mile bike ride, and 1.5-mile run.
