Thank you for joining us for the Run Ocean Isle Beach event! We will have almost 8 miles of cones on the road, 9 officers, roughly 60 volunteers out on course, hundreds of signs, 10 pacers, 6 water stops and some energetic team members all over the course cheering you on race morning. If you take a quick look at the map below or review the Map My Run here – you should be good but below we detail every single piece of the course for those that like to be extra prepared for race day.
This course is a certified and sanctioned road race. It is not an “approximate” distance like a watch, it is professionally certified using the Jones Counter on a calibrated bike and measured twice for accuracy. Mile markers are never certified points on course.
