Important Marathon Update
Dear Participants,
We’re deeply sorry to share that the OBX Marathon Weekend (Fun Run, 5k, 8k, Half Marathon, Marathon, and Expo) November 8–9 2025 has been canceled due to the ongoing government shutdown. Unfortunately, we do not have access to the necessary government officials required on site or for road closures; as well as crowd control to ensure a safe event.
If you’ve made any travel or lodging arrangements, please be sure to cancel them as soon as possible.
We know this is incredibly disappointing — for you, for our volunteers, and for our community who look forward to welcoming runners each fall. Thank you sincerely for registering and for your continued support of Outer Banks Sporting Events. As a token of our appreciation, all registered participants will receive a 40% discount toward any future OBSE race in 2026.
We understand how disappointing and frustrating this news is, and we truly share in your irritation. As noted in our longstanding Deferral and Refund Policy, all registrations are final and non-transferable, and we are unable to issue refunds or deferrals, even in the event of cancellation.
We are truly grateful for your understanding and for being part of the OBSE family. This decision was not made lightly, and we hope to see you back at the start line very soon. Although we’re disappointed not to celebrate with everyone this November, we are already looking ahead to future OBSE events — and we truly hope you’ll be part of them.
Thank you again for your patience, understanding, and continued support of Outer Banks Sporting Events. Our racing community means everything to us.
With appreciation,
Outer Banks Sporting Events Team.
