### **_Run Oak Island - February 14th & 15, 2026_** Join us for the first race of the 2026 BAM! Race Series in Oak Island North Carolina! BAM is short for #BigAssMedals and our medals do not disappoint! Oak Island is a beautiful coastal island large enough for a FULL MARATHON! We actually host 2 half marathons (East & West) that allow you to tour each end of the island (the East is competitive and the West is walker friendly). We host a flat and fast 10K and of course the 5K which are completely on the island with no elevation gain and minimal turns. Highlights include: Lighthouse, 13+ miles of beach views along the ocean (running on the road), a bridge (on the West Half & Full Marathon) and much more! President’s Day weekend is a perfect long weekend to enjoy the beach. Average temperatures are 58 High /41 Low in February. ### **_SCHEDULE:_** **FRIDAY: ** Packet pickup is open from 12-7pm **SATURDAY:** 7:00AM - 10K 8:30AM - 5K 9:30AM - 1M All morning until 10:30AM - After Party (Beer, BBQ, Awards, Games) Packet pickup is open from 12-7pm **SUNDAY:** 7:45AM - Full Marathon & Ultra Marathon 7:45AM - East Half Marathon 8:00AM - West Half Marathon 10:00AM - After Party (Beer, BBQ, Awards, Games) 2:30PM - Cutoff and After Party Closes ### **_Finisher Swag:_** HUGE 3D medals and custom made tri-blend finisher shirts for all participants in the 2026 races.
