OBX MARATHON NOV 7-9, 2008

The OBX Marathon is upon us again on the Outer Banks--celebrating 3 years! We're happy to act as sponsors to this great event which helps to raise monies for the Outer Banks Relief Foundation and the Dare Education Foundation on the Outer Banks. We all love to see the runners who have traveled from all over the world, and many of us stand along the route cheering the runners on.

For the past few years a few thousand people descend on the Outer Banks to run this beautiful course which is a Boston Marathon qualifier. The course is not just street/pavement--runners will traverse through Nags Head Woods a pristine ecological preserve, view the Albemarle Sound in Kitty Hawk, and wind their way around Kill Devil Hill--where the Wright Brothers had their first flight.

Registration is closed via the internet but you may register on-site at the Expo on Friday or Saturday. We still have a handful of cottages available for Marathon Weekend at our Wright Cottage Court. So come and have fun running from one end of the beach to the other (or just do the 1/2 Marathon---they welcome runners and walkers too) and view the many scenes of the Outer Banks!
