Ocean Isle Beach is a beautiful little slice of coastal heaven in SE North Carolina — the kind of place that tricks you into signing up for a race and then rewards you with ocean views so good you forget you’re suffering.
Our courses take you through some of the island’s prettiest communities, and the Half Marathon basically gives you a guided tour of the whole place — like a scenic island loop, but with more sweat and better bragging rights. The oceanfront views are unforgettable… mostly because your legs will remind you of them for days.
CRP hosts:
🏃♂️ Half Marathon – long enough to question your life choices, short enough to still make brunch
🏃 5K – fast, fun, and perfect for accidental PRs
👟 1 Mile – for first-timers, kids, flexers, and anyone who just wants the medal with minimal commitment
Set in late October, this is peak coastal running season: cooler temps, salty air, and just enough sea breeze to feel heroic without becoming a kite.
Come for the race.
Stay for the beach.
Leave with salty skin, tired legs, and the quiet confidence of someone who ran around an island on purpose.
