Corolla, North Carolina (United States of America) - "Blackbeard's Revenge 100". The Tale of Blackbeard's Revenge 100. Aye, ye ask why we call it Blackbeard's Revenge? Pull up a chair, Matey, and hear this tale... The Outer Banks be a fickle beast; temps can swing from 80 to 20, the wind’ll whip ye sideways, and though the roads be flat, they stretch on like the horizon, testin’ yer spirit. Plunderin’ these parts (er, runnin’) is a grand adventure, but make no mistake, she’ll make ye earn yer reward! Be ye pirate enough for the challenge? Brave the 100 Mile or 100K solo—or gather yer crew and conquer it relay-style! Runners, Ruckers, and Chariot Teams all welcome aboard. This point-to-point voyage runs the length of the OBX, from Corolla to Hatteras, where we raise a toast at the finish at The Wreck Tiki Bar. 100% paved, 100% coastal, 100% unforgettable. www.runsignup.com/Race/NC/Corolla/BlackbeardsRevenge100?aflt_token=7LipmEOzbECERDzMZ3v2Xv14ohnqORDf

Bald Head Island, North Carolina (United States of America) - "Badwater Cape Fear". The Badwater® ultra running experience returns to the (B)east Coast when the eleventh Badwater Cape Fear race takes place on Bald Head Island, North Carolina on March 21, 2026. With 50km and 51-mile race options, Badwater® Cape Fear features a twelve-mile warm-up on the car-free, one-lane-wide roads of Bald Head Island, followed by either 19 or 39 miles of running on the wild and secluded sandy beach between Cape Fear and Fort Fisher. The race is held along the Atlantic Seaboard with spectacular views of the Frying Pan Shoals to the east and wild and undeveloped marshlands to the west. Running this remote coast is a dramatic, invigorating, and inspiring manner in which to experience the Cape Fear region in all its grandeur! This exquisite natural setting is the perfect antidote to the "real world" and a wonderful counterpart to the desert sands and mountains of Death Valley and Anza-Borrego Desert featured in the two West Coast Badwater® races. Bald Head Island and nearby Southport, NC (featured in the film "Safe Haven") are ideal vacation get-away spots for the entire family, located less than one hour from Wilmington, NC and its major airport with Delta and US Airways service. (Flying into Myrtle Beach, SC is another convenient option.) Due to the remarkable beauty and quaint southern charm of this area, as well as this impeccable, authentic Badwater race experience, many Badwater Cape Fear participants are now making this race an annual pilgrimage! www.badwater.com/event/badwater-cape-fear

Mill Spring, North Carolina (United States of America) - "Outlast Blue ridge". OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to stay in the event. If you finish early, you rest until the next round. Miss a lap, and you’re out. Complete all six rounds, and you OUTLAST. This isn't just about speed—it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Whether you're trying to survive all six or win your division, the challenge is the same: show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it. Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions. You’ll have time between rounds to recover, refuel, and refocus—but not much. https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/MillSpring/OUTLASTBLUERIDGE?aflt_token=Nktw0AUB3nF4FPeh7Y7AWqQewFdw9sGt
