13th Annual Surfin' Turkey 5K and Puppy Drum Fun Run

🏃‍♀️ Join us to raise money for Hatteras Island students!

Run this beautiful 5K course through the historic fishing village before your big Thanksgiving feast! A fun pancake breakfast immediately follows the race along with the awards ceremony. The proceeds from this race support the Hatteras Island Youth Education Fund (HIYEF). During the 2023-2024 school year, HIYEF provided more than $60,000 in grant funded projects to our two Cape Hatteras Schools. HIYEF provides funding for educational and enrichment opportunities for our Hatteras Island students.
