Brindley Beach Lighthouse 5k Series September

The Whalehead Club anchors this event, with runners and walkers convening near Corolla’s historic sites instead of a generic out-and-back course. The Brindley Beach Lighthouse 5k Series in September is part of the "Lighthouse 5k / 1 Mile Race Series," now in its 16th year. It offers a relaxed vacation-race atmosphere: straightforward, welcoming, and focused on family enjoyment and fitness during your holiday. The course involves running or walking through the Historic Village of Corolla Light and visiting the historic attractions of the Outer Banks' northern shores. It suggests a morning where parents can compete, children can participate in the shorter race, and the rest of the day remains free for beach activities. The unique aspect is the location: Historic Corolla lends the course more character than a typical resort road run.
