MBJJ is where Jeepers come together for one unforgettable weekend at the beach. October 30 – November 1, thousands of Jeeps and the people who build them, name them, show them off and plan road trips around them take over Myrtle Beach for three days of Jeep life. Take on the Obstacle Course. Show off your build. Explore 120+ vendors. Drive your Jeep along the beach at sunrise. Celebrate Halloween with your crew. But Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam is bigger than what you do while you’re here. It’s the people you do it with. Bring your Jeep. Find your people. Be part of it.

Join Fleet Feet Myrtle Beach and the Strong Together Run Club for a run, interactive, and music infused fun run to kick off your Halloween weekend. We will be completing 4 loops around the 1.08 mile pathway around the lake at Grand Park so you can go as near or as far as you would like. However, this isn't your ordinary run...you will be led by our local area DJ as he pumps dance tunes from a mobile turn table to keep the energy high and the fun going all run long. After the run, stick around for some food and refreshments courtesy of Hoka.
