The best way to explore a destination is to run through it! The Outer Banks Marathon, held each Veteran’s Day weekend, will give a tour of this historic coastline like no other! An event for all ages and for the inner explorer in all of us, this flat point-to-point (Boston Qualifier) course will take you through the beautiful coast of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. With full two days of events, from the 5k and 8k to the Southern Fried Half and the Townebank Outer Banks Marathon, the event organizers – Outer Banks Sporting Events – have put together a challenging weekend of multi-distance Outer Banks running and combo events for the whole family to enjoy!

There will also be a post-race celebration and party in downtown Manteo on Queen Elizabeth Street on the waterfront! Bring your family and friends to enjoy a festival atmosphere including live music, good eats, and exclusive OBSE retail gear!
