Some of our favorite annual events are coming up in March. Get out your calendar and start planning now! Here are the March 2020 OBX events you won’t want to miss.
Outer Banks Sporting Events (OBSE) will host the Running of the Leprechauns on Saturday, March 14th 2020. OBSE is excited for another 5K & 10K race! Each finisher will receive a Finish Medals and an Event Shirt. There will be awards for the top 3 Male & top 3 Female finishers in each of the two distances.
Enjoy an Irish- themed after party and a “Get Lucky” Costume Contest! Come for the Run and stay for the Kelly’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday!
This years’ 5K & 10K courses are the same as in the past, just altered slightly to start and finish at nearby Satterfield Soccer Complex. The 10K route includes portions of gravel trail (approx. 2 miles) and is a loop. The 5K is all on the road and is an out-and-back.
