At 7:30 am we will be handing out bibs only with shirts available for pickup after the race.  Make sure that you are in line early, in the past we started the race late and the volunteers working packet pickup were unable to participate in the race, so even if you are in line before 7:30, we will be handing out only bibs starting at 7:30...

About Nags Head

Scenic view of

Nags Head is a city on the Outer Banks. Legend has it that the names comes from when pirates used to put a lantern around a horse's neck and walk along the beach. When a ship at sea saw the light, it would think the light was from another ship at anchor, and so would come closer and end up running ashore.
