Run Oak Island : February 13 and 14, 2027

Run Oak Island is a two-day road race weekend on Oak Island, North Carolina featuring multiple distances across Saturday and Sunday. Event distances include an ultra marathon, a certified full marathon, two different half marathons, a 10K, a 5K and a 1 mile fun run.

Race highlights and course notes:

• 26.25 miles Ultra Marathon
• 26.2 miles Full Marathon
• 13.1 miles East Half Marathon
• 13.1 miles West Half Marathon

Organizers provide 3D finisher medals and a soft tri-blend shirt for participants in all races except the 1 mile; the 1 mile shirt is available as a $10 add-on. The two half marathon courses differ: the East half is a flatter, competitive course with awards while the West half includes oceanfront running and two 65 foot bridge climbs, carries a 6.5 hour time limit, and is walker friendly with no age group awards. The full marathon course is certified and described as largely flat with ocean views and an intracoastal bridge late in the route.

Support includes multiple water stations on longer courses (the full marathon has 13 and the half marathons have 7), course signage, and volunteers. The weekend includes a Sunday 10.3 mile 3-race challenge combining the 10K, 5K and 1 mile and a two-day combo option that awards an extra finishers medal. Virtual race entries and packet mailing are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
