Description

The OBX® Marathon, presented by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau, The Gateway Bank Half Marathon, and the Kelly Hospitality Group Fun Run offer miles of scenic and historic coastal beauty along North Carolina’s barrier islands. An Inaugural sell-out in 2006, OBX® offers all the perks of the big marathons, with all the charm and hospitality of the small town races. Bring the family and friends. Run, then relax and enjoy all the adventure, history, and beauty that is the Outer Banks of NC.

Tester McGee – "I loved it!!!"

I have run a lot of marathons. This was my favorite.

JuliaKM – "Ran the Half"

I ran the half in 2006 and thought it was a very well-run race. The mile markers were very clearly marked. The only bad part was the strange placement of water stops. There was one way too early and then not enough over the last couple of miles. For folks looking for a very flat course, Outer Banks is perfect. There is one hilly bridge, but otherwise, it is a great race.

JuliaKM – "Still Testing"

I am still testing the review feature.

Eric – "I watched"

OK, does this work?

Eric – "Wrong place for this..."

Perhaps put in order of most recent first? Or let user decide sorting algorithm used. When I put my name etc in the comments before I registered as a member it didn't put my name. Perhaps say 'required information' so they know that's what the red character is (is that an asterisk? it's very small so hard to tell). Also, paragraph and line breaks not working in my comments. This entry should have four paragraphs....
