Yesterday was a beautiful morning and afternoon for the OBX Marathon. The turnout was great initial estimates put it at over 5,000 runners. The 5,000 runners must have been complemented with an additional 5,000 fans. The finish for the marathon and half marathon was filled with cheering spectators.
It is the great support of all the fans and local volunteers, many who kept the water and gatorade flowing at the mile markers, that make the OBX Marathon such a special event. The post race party was filled with happy racers and their fans enjoying a beautiful November afternoon. Downtown Manteo was flowing with people in every direction. It is good to see such a fun event bring so many people together. Only 364 days till next year's OBX Marathon.
