If you’re ever looking for a runcation, look no further than the true runner’s mecca we have here in the Outer Banks. Our flat lands and scenic stretches of beach, trails and cottage-lined neighborhoods make for incredible running routes for any level. Two races we highly recommend the Outer Banks Sporting Events hosted Flying Pirate Half Marathon and the Outer Banks Marathon, the 13.1 miler in the spring followed by the 26.2 miler in the fall. If you’re not looking for that much mileage on your legs, we have any number of 5k’s to keep you busy ranging throughout the year, just look here for more information. We are also so close to the many events hosted by Runcations, like the Lighthouse 5k series you can join every Wednesday in Corolla! Breeze through this vacation highlighting a weekend surrounding a race, right here in our backyard!
