Race Info
The Oak Island West Half Marathon covers 13.1 miles on the Saturday of race weekend and heads to the west end of the island, the opposite direction from the East course. It runs about five miles along the ocean on the road, then crosses the intracoastal waterway bridge twice around mile 9, a climb of about 65 feet each time. It is a USATF-certified route that is friendlier to walkers than the East course.
