Later today will we be posting some great pictures from Mile Marker 22 during the OBX Marathon. The initial information puts the 2008 OBX Marathon as having 1400 more runners than last year. It would be an understatement to say the marathon has grown. It seems the marathon was just short of 5,000 runners. This is great news for the Outer Banks Relief Foundation, which is the non-profit organization the marathon is designed to benefit.
Everyone at Beach Realty - Kitty Hawk Rentals would like to thank, all those who put so much work into making this event a success. We would also like to thank all those who came out to cheer the runners. Everyone helped make this year's event better than last year. All of us here are looking forward to the 2009 OBX Marathon.

Beautiful Day for the OBX Marathon
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.
