The OBX Gobbler 5K & Fun Run

The OBX Gobbler 5K & Fun Run is a Thanksgiving Day race in Nags Head, North Carolina, at 5000 S. Croatan Hwy near the Outer Banks Mall. It offers two options: a 5K and a Fun Run, with clock timing only (no chip timing).

Presented by Barrier Island Group, the event is a fundraiser for three local nonprofits. 5K participants receive a race-themed shirt; giveaways must be picked up, no mailings. Post-race hospitality includes a light breakfast and coffee for registered participants.

Packet pickup and race-day logistics include on-site bib pickup and mall parking; there is no race-day registration. Courses are pre-mapped for both events. The race will be held rain or shine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
