Oak Island is a beautiful coastal island large enough for a FULL MARATHON! We actually host 2 half marathons (East & West) that allow you to tour each end of the island (the East is competitive and the West is walker friendly) new for 2024 a 10K and of course the 5K. Highlights include: Lighthouse, 13+ miles of beach views along the ocean (running on the road), a bridge (on the West Half & Full Marathon) and much more! President’s Day weekend is a perfect long weekend to enjoy the beach. Average temperatures are 58 High /41 Low in February. Source
