Event overview
The inaugural Another Round 25K takes place on October 18, 2025, at Jockey's Ridge State Park in Nags Head, NC. The event uses a 5K loop course with a small portion of dune to cross. The format requires completing five loops for a total of 25K; participants may enter as individuals or as teams of two. The event is limited to 200 participants.
Race format, logistics and rules
Participants run one 5K loop each hour for five hours, using a shared start/finish line. All loops are chip timed and results are based on cumulative time. Runners must complete each 5K loop within 55 minutes or they will not be permitted to continue; only finished laps will be listed in results. Teams alternate loops, with one teammate running three loops and the other running two; running only one 5K is not allowed.
Event parking is in the state park lot. Bathrooms and refueling at the start/finish are provided. Tents, coolers and grills are allowed in the event area. Pets must be on a leash in the event area but pets and strollers are not allowed on the 5K loops for participants. Food vendors and music will be on site; there is a swimming area and beach access with separate parking for swimmers.
Every participant receives a t-shirt, a custom finisher medal, drinks and snacks. Awards by cumulative time go to the top three overall male and female individuals and to the top three teams in co-ed, all male and all female categories. A portion of proceeds supports Friends of Jockeys Ridge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
