39th Annual Nags Head Woods 5K

Join us Mother’s Day Weekend on Saturday morning for a fun 5K at Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve. As we have merged with North Banks Rotary Club this past year, we now get to help organize this special charity event on the Outer Banks.

NEW THIS YEAR!

Join us for a 1-mile “Walk in the Woods” at the same time as our 5K Race. This 1-mile walk will coincide with our 5K Race. Now this event truly is perfect for the whole family! Anyone that doesn’t want o run the race, can come take a leisurely walk in the woods and support this great charity race.

Race Details:
SATURDAY – MAY 10, 2025

Adult 5K/1-Mile – $38
Teen 5K/1-Mile – $35
Elementary School Kids/GOFAR 5K/1-Mile – $30
Fun Run! – $25

REGISTER EARLY – GET A FREE GIFT! ($20 VALUE)

If you register by Sunday, April 6 you will receive a FREE custom Nags Head Woods 5K Colors for Good Bracelet!

We chose this Green “Mood” Bracelet because this shade of green represents our commitment to “GENEROSITY” and giving back. If you are not participating in the event, but want to purchase a Nags Head Woods 5K Generosity Bracelet to support our mission, we will be selling them for $20 on site at the event. Colors for Good is a transformative movement that aims to change the way employment works, becoming an engine for improving lives where there are no opportunities.
