Marathon Update

Outer Banks Sporting Events is sad to inform our Towne Bank OBX Marathon runners (26.2) that this event has been cancelled this year due to a situation beyond our control. 

The OBX half, 8k, 5k, and fun run distances will continue as scheduled on November 9-10, 2024. 

The reason for the marathon cancellation is NC DOT has closed the bridge that is part of our course.  We have worked on various other routes, but none have been approved by the County.  We have been forced to change our half route to a new route in Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk. We are truly sorry. 


The OBX Towne Bank Marathon is the oldest continuously running road race in the Outer Banks! The marathon course is fast and flat, which makes it the perfect place for your first marathon or even your own personal record! Participants will enjoy the gorgeous natural scenery along the course as it twists and turns across the islands of the Outer Banks. Spectators line up to cheer on all the athletes and as you cross the finish line, the party is right there waiting for you! The post-race celebration will feature live music and entertainment, as well as excellent southern barbecue (free for all runners!) and an awesome beer garden for all those 21+.

There will also be plenty of family-friendly, exciting activities to celebrate a race well run. OBXSE will be hosting a two-day sports and fitness expo where packet pick up will happen before the race. Participants will be given a race t-shirt along with our 2024 finisher items.

The Outer Banks Marathon Weekend features many different options for events to race in. Not only is there the Towne Bank Marathon, but also the Half Marathon and the Surf Pediatrics Surf & Soar 5K, 8K and Fun Run.
