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.
This year we 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 medals. Over the years we’ve had surfboard, flip flop, glass, lockets, artistic connecting medals, a pirate theme, mosaic designs, and much more - we change it up each year to bring unique medals but this year might top them all. We hope you enjoy them!
