Welcome to the Barrier Island Group...the next "B.I.G." thing. It started in 2022 with the Rodanthe Bridge Run and in 2023, B.I.G. committed to creating unique events at landmark locations across the Outer Banks to support local non-profits while encouraging physical activity and healthy lifestyles for people of all ages and abilities.
We can't wait to have you join us!!
Happy Fall, everyone...Time to finish out the year in a B.I.G. way!!
First up, we would like to share some B.I.G. news...
Join B.I.G. this Thanksgiving Day as we assist the Outer Banks
Running Club with the 2024 Gobbler. Then, mark your calendars for 2025 when the "Gobbler" will become a part of the B.I.G. Family of events! We look forward to seeing you there!!
We unfortunately have sad news to share....
Due to changes that occurred last month with staff at the Elizabethan Gardens and other unforeseen circumstances, we find it necessary to cancel this year's Holiday Hustle. This cancellation is hugely disappointing for all of us. It was our hope to build upon last year's inaugural event and create a new holiday tradition.
The "WinterLights" exhibit is a fantastic holiday event and we were all looking forward to it. We hope that you will visit the Gardens during the holiday season, and we sincerely hope to be back with the Holiday Hustle in 2025.
Anyone that has already registered for the race will receive a full refund of their entry fee. We apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may have caused you.
In the meantime, B.I.G will be assisting the Outer Banks Running Club in the transition year with their annual Turkey "GOBBLER 5K on Thanksgiving morning and we hope to see you there.
The B.I.G. 2025 roster of events will include "4 on the 4th" in Avon, "The Labor Day Lighthouse 5K" in Buxton, The "Gobbler 5K" in Nags Head and (hopefully!) the Holiday Hustle 5K in Manteo.
Stay tuned as we are always looking to add more unique events.
