Run Oak Island 2027
About this race
Run Oak Island - February 13th & 14, 2027
Join us for the first race of the 2027 BAM! Race Series in Oak Island North Carolina! BAM is short for #BigAssMedals and our medals do not disappoint!
Oak Island is a beautiful coastal island large enough for a FULL MARATHON! We actually host 2 half marathons (East & West) that allow you to tour each end of the island (the East is competitive and the West is walker friendly). We host a flat and fast 10K and of course the 5K which are completely on the island with no elevation gain and minimal turns. Highlights include: Lighthouse, 13+ miles of beach views along the ocean (running on the road), a bridge (on the West Half & Full Marathon) and much more! President’s Day weekend is a perfect long weekend to enjoy the beach. Average temperatures are 58 High /41 Low in February.
