Run Oak Island

🏃‍♀️ Run Oak Island - February 14th & 15, 2026

Join us for the first race of the 2026 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: A prominent feature on the race route.
• Beach Views: 13+ miles of beach views along the ocean (running on the road).
• Bridge: Featured on the West Half & Full Marathon.
• Temperature: Average temperatures are 58 High / 41 Low in February.

President’s Day weekend is a perfect long weekend to enjoy the beach.
