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 SPCA will provide a friendly dog that will certainly enjoy the experience with you!

This isn't the only event of the day -- stay after the race to enjoy the free Planes and Plows festival which will host multiple vendors, games, food trucks and plane rides.

Course Information

These are non-USATF certified courses this year. Built to provide a one of a kind experience in Currituck County. They start off at an entrance to the Currituck County Airport, go around the runway, the 10k goes out onto the County property you get an on and off trail experience through the woods and around ponds back to the airport gate.

The challenging courses are very unique.  Check out the maps!  The airport will be active during the race so you will see planes as they are taking off and landing!  The 10k circles the runway then goes out onto county property and navigates through the woods and ponds. Anticipate a mixture of terrain including asphalt, grass, and dirt paths.
