About this race
Run Ocean Isle Beach - October 24, 2026
Join us for our 13th annual Run Ocean Isle Beach & Last Race of the 2026 BAM! Races.
Ocean Isle Beach is a beautiful coastal island in SE North Carolina. Our courses take you through some beautiful communities and the half marathon takes you around most of the island with unforgettable oceanfront views. We host a half marathon, 5K & 1 Mile in late October when the average temperatures are a High of 75 and a Low of 56.
Finisher Swag:
This year our finisher shirts will be going back to our extremely soft tri-blend T's with a beautiful unique design and an absolutely MASSIVE race medal.
- Unique Design: Over the years we’ve had surfboard, flip flop, glass, lockets, and artistic connecting medals.
- Annual Themes: Past themes include pirate and mosaic designs to keep it fresh each year.
- Excitement: This year might top them all with our most creative medal yet.
- Enjoyment: We hope you enjoy them!
