2024 OBX Marathon

The 2024 Outer Banks Marathon Weekend will take place from November 9-10 in Manteo, NC. Due to logistical challenges involving a bridge closure on the full marathon route, the 26.2-mile marathon has been canceled for this year. However, runners can still participate in the popular Half Marathon, 8K, 5K, and Fun Run events, which will continue as scheduled.

The weekend kicks off on Saturday, November 9, with the 8K, 5K, and Fun Run events at the Wright Brothers Memorial in Kill Devil Hills. The Half Marathon will follow on Sunday, November 10, beginning at Fort Raleigh National Historic Site in Manteo. The Half Marathon course has been adjusted, but runners can still enjoy the scenic coastal views and community support along the way.

In addition to the races, there will be a sports and fitness expo for participants to pick up race packets and explore local vendors. An after-party on Sunday will feature live music, food, and beverages to celebrate the runners’ achievements, with complimentary Southern barbecue and a beer garden for those 21 and older.

This event, hosted by Outer Banks Sporting Events, brings together the local community and visitors to celebrate fitness, support charity, and enjoy the unique landscape of the Outer Banks. For more information and updates, visit the official event site at OBX Sporting Events.
