The Southern Fried Half Marathon at North Carolina’s Outer Banks races follows a point-to-point course that starts just off South Croatan Highway in Nags Head at the mid-way point of the full marathon, and follow the same course in to the finish line in Manteo, just across the bridge from Nags Head. While most of the race is fast and flat thanks to its island location, there’s a big climb onto the Washington-Baum Bridge late in the race.
