North Carolina > Ocean Isle Beach Bridge Run for Food Half Marathon & 5K
Ocean Isle Beach, NC • Saturday, January 5, 2013 • Course Map

|
Run as a benefit for the South Brunswick Interchurch Council Food
Pantry here in southeastern North Carolina, a non-denominational
nonprofit organization that distributes food and assistance to those in
need in the Ocean Isle Beach and surrounding areas, the Ocean Isle
Beach Bridge Run For Food saw more than 500 runners cross the finish
line at the race's 2012 running, with an estimated 292 runners in the
race's half marathon alone.
The race begins on West 3rd Street in Ocean Isle Beach, and takes
runners on an out-and-back course that crosses the Odell Williamson
Bridge over the intracoastal waterway twice, once over to the mainland
and then back again over to Ocean Isle Beach. The bridge portion of the
race route offers by far its biggest uphill and downhill stretch; the
remainder of the race's 13.1 miles feature largely fast and flat paved
roads through the Ocean Isle Beach area.
Runners start the race at 9:00 AM at the starting line on West 3rd
Street, and get a chance to see both the calm, peaceful waters of the
Intracoastal waterway over the bridge as well as the waves crashing
against the shore in from the Atlantic Ocean, during the stretches of
the run along Ocean Isle Beach.
