About
Outer Banks Marathon Weekend is spread over November 7 and 8, 2026, based in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Saturday holds the shorter races, an 8K (5 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles). Sunday is the main day, with the marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles). Start times had not been published when this page was written, so check the schedule before booking travel.
Two race days makes this a genuine weekend rather than a single morning, and the Saturday races give a family or a training partner something to run even if the marathon is your target. For the full distance, plan on a 16-week build with a weekly long run climbing toward 20 miles; for the half, 12 weeks with a long run around 11 or 12 miles will do the job. If you are doubling up, run Saturday's 5K as a shakeout, not a race.
