Brief Description

Corolla Ocean Rescue is hosting the very first ever 5k race in Corolla! Enjoy the fresh ocean air and beautiful beach scenery as you race across the one-of-a-kind course winding through Corolla, including a short 1/4 mile segment on the sand. The event will be a “green” race" and there will also be a 1/2 mile Tiny Turtle Kids Fun Run for ages 10 & under. All proceeds go to Corolla Fire and Rescue, helping us continue to better our service and keep the beaches safe!

Directions

From the southern beaches, take route 12 north through Duck. Once in Corolla, turn right at the 2nd light at Albacore Street. Monterey Plaza is located next to the Tomato Patch on the opposite side of the parking lot from the Food Lion.
