Race Postponed

New Date: April 5, 2025

After speaking with transportation officials, and in light of the potentially hazardous road conditions that may endanger travelers to the event, coupled with the absence of numerous volunteers to support our event (due to school closings and bus transportation), we have chosen to postpone our Sledgehammer Beach Run until April 5.

For those not familiar with this area, our community is not equipped like other places that receive heavy amounts of snow. In the past, the roads have been very dangerous days after a snowfall because the temperature melts the snow and then refreezes, leaving a heavy layer of ice on the roadways. The major roads may be clear to drive but many of the other roads and bridges could be dangerous. 

Runners, you will have the following options. You will have until February 5th to decide on your option. 

Here Are Your Options:

We will transfer your registration to the new event date once it is set, and look forward to having you join us. Thanks for your patience!

Virtual races happen all the time, and allow you to join the fun without the crowds. You simply run the distance on your own, and report your results. 

You understand that events are expensive, even when cancelled, and you want us to keep your registration fees to help cover our costs. The event benefits two local non-profit organizations (Semper Fi & America's Fund and Jacksonville-Onslow Sports Commission). We deeply appreciate your generosity and look forward to seeing you at an event soon.

We understand. We hope you can join us next time.
