Run Oak Island

🏃‍♂️ Run Oak Island - February 14th & 15th, 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: Lighthouse, 13+ miles of beach views along the ocean (running on the road), a bridge (on the West Half & Full Marathon) and much more!
• Weekend: President’s Day weekend is a perfect long weekend to enjoy the beach.
• Weather: Average temperatures are 58 High / 41 Low in February.
