Important Update
Dear Another Round 25K Runner,
Unfortunately, due to a lower-than-expected number of race registrations, OBSE is forced to cancel this year’s race. We truly apologize for this inconvenience. We're working to increase marketing and awareness so we have enough runners for next year’s event.
We know we can’t fully make up for having to cancel this race, but we've automatically deferred you at no cost to the 2025 race. We'll be sending an email update soon about alternative options as well. If you have any questions in the meantime, please email info@obxse.org.
Don't miss the inaugural Another Round 25K!
Come out to Jockey's Ridge State Park in Nags Head and try to complete one 5K loop per hour for a total of five 5K loops! There will be a small portion of dune to cross. Go it alone or find a teammate!
Prices
Before July 15: $99
July 15-October 18: $120
*Limited to 200 participants
How It Works
Are you endurance race curious? Or trail running curious? Both? This is a welcoming event for you! Run a 5K on the hour every hour between 7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Individual and team options available!
Individuals: Can you complete all five loops? Run all 25K for the most bragging rights of the day. Awards are based on cumulative time.
Teams of Two: Alternate 5Ks with one person doing three 5Ks and the other teammate doing two. Running only one 5K is not allowed.
The course is a 5k loop with a shared start/finish line. Participants must be ready at the start line at the top of every start hour.
Timing
All loops are chip timed. Results will be based on total cumulative time.
Participants must be able to finish each 5K loop in :55 minutes. Anyone who does not meet the time cutoff each hour will not be permitted to continue and only their finished laps will be listed in the results.
The first 5K will begin at 7:30 a.m. The last 5K will begin at 11:30 a.m.
