Whether you are a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun way to experience the Currituck County Campus and regional airport, these courses will deliver! This event is a collaboration between multiple organizations, and we are proud to offer a variety of races including a 1-mile fun run a 5k as well as a scenic 10-k.
We are honored to support Kids First, Inc. whose mission is to provide Help, Healing, and Hope to children in northeastern North Carolina who have been abused or neglected. Please know that 100% of the proceeds from this event will go directly to Kids First, Inc.
Runners and walkers' welcome! We recommend that strollers and dogs (leash required) start at the back. If you don't have a pup and want to walk one, let us know and the local animal shelter will provide a friendly dog that will certainly enjoy the experience with you!
These challenging courses are very unique; maps are soon to come! The 10K and 5k go down a taxiway around hangars back onto a taxiway, then out onto a mix of trails, dirt and pave roads. You may see wildlife as you go around several ponds.
