The Outer Banks Gobbler 5k & Fun Run is an annual Nags Head tradition that is sponsored by the Outer Banks Running Club, and which is wide open to anyone who wants to enjoy a little active entertainment before the traditional Thanksgiving feasting begins.

The Outer Banks Gobbler 5k & Fun Run is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, with varying costs depending on whether participants want to join in on the shorter 1-mile fun run, or the entire 5k. Regardless of which option participants choose, folks can expect to enjoy a scenic course that cuts through the Village of Nags Head, one of the prettiest and most acclaimed communities in this corner of the Outer Banks. The race features free T-shirts as well as other goodies, and donations of canned goods and non-perishable food items will also be collected at the event and delivered to the local food pantry.
