About the race
Run The Fort is the fourth annual 5K run/walk held at Fort Macon in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina (Fort Macon, 2303 E Fort Macon Rd). Proceeds benefit local nonprofits from Carteret County, this year supporting the Boys and Girls Club of the Coastal Plain for a Beaufort capital campaign. The course follows the Fort Macon trail, a multi-terrain route that overlooks the ocean and winds through dunes, boardwalk, dirt paths and maritime forests.
It’s a challenging but rewarding trail experience, with timing support available for those who want a timed race. The race takes place on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
