Dear Participants,

OBSE has had to make a change to this year's OBX Triathlon due to the extended closure of the Manns Harbor bridge. The bridge closure impacts our bike routes. While the race planning team worked with all public safety agencies to find a new route, they were unable to find a bike course that ensured the safety of race participants and those traveling on area roads. As a result, we must cancel the bike portion of the race. There's good news, however. USAT has instructed us to carry on with the event. So we will be hosting an aquathon (swim/run) that can still be ranked as a triathlon. That means you can still use it to qualify for Age Group Nationals and National Rankings. Once again, OBSE and its board are sincerely sorry. Thank you for your understanding

Finish off your Independence Day weekend by supporting an OBX treasure! Outer Banks Sporting Events invites you to run/walk/overcome 2 miles on Jockey's Ridge, the tallest natural sand dune system in the eastern US! Attracting runners looking for a "unique" challenge (and drawing a very competitive field), we also welcome people to walk the course (not just a "walk in the park" though)! Proceeds benefit Friends of Jockey's Ridge, a local non-profit dedicated to supporting, preserving and enhancing Jockey's Ridge State Park.
