It will be held November 13th with more than 5000 runners from all over the country and world running and walking the 26.2 mile stretch of beautiful scenery from Kitty Hawk to downtown Manteo on Roanoke Island.

Mile Marker 25 is near the finish line, and volunteers from Surf or Sound Realty, along with their friends and family, will encourage all of the runners and pass out water and Gatorade to the marathon participants. We have created signs with encouraging statements on them that we will post leading up to our station, and the signs will be paired will pink flamingos! You can rent 12 pink flamingos for a minimum donation of $25 and the funds go to Hatteras Island Meals. HI Meals is a non-profit organization staffed by volunteers that delivers a hot meal to nourish and enrich the lives of homebound and other people in need in every village on Hatteras Island.

The Outer Banks Marathon is one of the events organized by Outer Banks Sporting Events (OBSE). The mission of OBSE is to organize and promote sports competition and healthy living resources, provide financial resources for needed relief and support for education while contributing to economic development for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. 100% of net proceeds are split 50/50 by the Dare Education Foundation and the Outer Banks Relief Foundation.

Surf or Sound Realty Sponsors Mile Marker 25 for the Outer Banks Marathon


The 5th Annual Outer Banks Marathon was held on November the 14th 2010 with more than 5000 runners from all over the world and the Unites States running and walking the 26.2 mile stretch of beautiful scenery from Kitty Hawk to downtown Manteo on Roanoke Island. The weather was just perfect with sunshine and temperatures in the upper 60s.

Surf or Sound Realty was a proud sponsor of Mile Marker 25 located in Manteo, near the finish line. Volunteers from the company, along with their friends and family, found it very rewarding to encourage all the runners and pass out water and Gatorade to the marathon participants. It was a great treat to see all the runners and walkers have so much energy after so many miles. For participants and volunteers alike, this memorable experience is truly one of a kind.
