ResortQuest by Wyndham Vacation Rentals Offers Lodging Discounts and a Free Shuttle for Myrtle Beach Marathon Runners

Myrtle Beach, SC (January 4, 2012) -

The vacation rentals company will offer marathon participants a third night free at The Market Common in Myrtle Beach or a 20 percent discount off the regular rate for a two-night stay

As an official lodging sponsor, ResortQuest Myrtle Beach will welcome participants of the BI-LO® Myrtle Beach Marathon next month with special offers for stays at its upscale vacation rentals at The Market Common.
Registered participants for the Saturday, Feb.18, 2012 event will have their choice of staying at The Market Common for two-nights at a 20 percent discount of the regular rate or three-nights with the third night free. These rates are available for stays from Wednesday, Feb. 15 through Sunday, Feb. 19, 2012.

"We are excited to sponsor the Myrtle Beach Marathon for a fourth year. Amenities such as fully equipped kitchens, washers and dryers, and free high-speed Internet access in every unit, plus our location right on the marathon course route, make The Market Common an excellent choice for anyone running in the marathon or simply coming to watch," said Craig McGee, operations manager, ResortQuest by Wyndham Vacation Rentals, Myrtle Beach. "And because ResortQuest is an official lodging sponsor, participants can take advantage of the free race shuttle to and from the start and finish."

The Myrtle Beach Marathon is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon® and limited to 3,000 entries. The USA Track & Field®-certified course will take runners into The Market Common development, passing several shops and circling Valor Park, before sending them down a 10-mile stretch along Ocean Blvd. Though the course has minimal elevation changes, runners sometimes find the headwinds challenging. The start/finish is located at BB&T Coastal Field at 1251 21st Avenue N. in Myrtle Beach with the start time at 6:30 a.m. and close time at 2:30 p.m.

ResortQuest® by Wyndham Vacation Rentals professionally manages the residential properties and vacation rentals at The Market Common, a master-planned urban village located at 1120 Farrow Pkwy., just one mile from the ocean.

The Myrtle Beach Marathon is a non-profit organization that supports the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of South Carolina and the Horry County Chapter of the American Red Cross®. Since its inception in 1998, the Myrtle Beach Marathon has assisted these charities in raising almost $3 million. Since 2005, the Myrtle Beach Marathon and Dr. Mark Schecker have also awarded one-time $1,000 scholarships to one male and one female outstanding scholar-athlete who have participated in the Myrtle Beach Marathon as a runner or volunteer.

To take advantage of ResortQuest's Myrtle Beach Marathon lodging discount, registered marathon participants should book directly with ResortQuest by calling 877-869-5962 and mentioning Promo Code MBM12.
