Organiser's Description

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.

There is one water station on the course. This is not a timed race; it is a family fun event, if you want to know your time please wear a watch or make sure you look at the clock at the finish line.

Our course this year is altered due to the replacement of the Slash Creek Bridge in Hatteras Village. Instead of making a loop, the course will be an out-and- back, going down Eagle Pass Road as usual, turning around at Hatteras Sol Restaurant parking area and coming back to the Civic Center.

Specifics of the course: Begin at Hatteras Civic Center and continue to Eagle Pass Road, making a left turn. Follow Eagle Pass Rd to the end where you will see our water station and will then return back to the Civic Center via Eagle Pass Rd. The course will be well marked as always.
