Outer Banks Marathon
Quickly becoming one of the biggest off season draws to the Outer Banks is the OBX Marathon. The marathon held on Veterans Day Weekend was established 3 years ago. The marathon is a fund raiser for the Outer Banks Relief Foundation. Besides being an amazing way to raise money the marathon also is an incredible draw for Outer Banks businesses.
Veterans Day weekend which is historically slow is now packed from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. All weekend long the island is filled with hungry race goers and their fans. The 3rd year of the marathon appears to be be huge. According to one local source, the race currently has 20% more runners registered than last year.
