The Gateway Bank Outer Banks Marathon, winding its way through the natural beauty that is North Carolina’s Outer Banks, is like no other. Come run with us and cover some spectacular ground!  After finishing the Outer Banks Marathon, you will have run one of the most beautiful parts of the East Coast – literally!  Don’t take our word for it – come see for yourself."

..." thank YOU Jim, and thanks to the wonderful volunteers! A great event as always. I have done quite a few half marathons over the past few years and this is, without doubt, the best organized and (perhaps more importantly) the friendliest!"

"Can't run Outer Banks this year after a move way to El Paso. this was my first marathon, if you can run it, its by far the best I've ran. The locals are incredibly supportive, the course is outstanding, nothing but good things here." ~ D. Townsend, El Paseo TX.
