Oak Island Lighthouse Run Adds 1/2
Marathon
February
18, 2012 - Oak Island, NC - The inaugural
Oak Island Lighthouse Run began in 1999 as a 10k
run/walk as a way to showcase our beautiful beaches and
history while promoting a healthy lifestyle. In 2006, a
5k was added to attract even more participation. As the
event continued to grow, there were many requests for
the event to add a 1/2 marathon. In response, the
Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce,
organizers of the Oak Island Lighthouse Run will add a
1/2 marathon to the April 21st event. The addition of
the 1/2 marathon also gave organizers the opportunity to
revamp the existing run/walk. All runs will now begin
and end at the N.C. Baptist Assembly @ Fort Caswell. The
changes to the Oak Island Lighthouse Run are designed to
eliminate logistical challenges with the growth of the
event and to alleviate traffic congestion created by
past closings of the G.V. Barbee Bridge.

Area Chamber of Commerce at 910-457-6964 or visit the
