This code is only applicable for one race per child! This code is for GO FAR students ONLY! Parents and other racers must register thru OBSE. Please do not share this code or use for anyone other than a GO FAR student as we will be monitoring registration. 

Parents or anyone other than the GO FAR student must register thru Outer Banks Sporting Events: http://www.obxmarathon.org/site3.aspx


 On the participant information page please choose under race category the race that is appropriate for your child; 1 mile fun run, 5k, or 8k.   
If you are unsure what is best please speak with a coach or email OBXGOFAR@gmail.com 

These are titled as the Outer Banks Sporting Events (OBSE) races , but they are still the GO FAR event. OBSE is our host and we thank them for allowing us to use their registration process and race day events.  

Payment Reminders: 

You will not be charged for this event, because this was included in the fee at the beginning of the season. The fee at the beginning of the season includes a GO FAR T-shirt and Medal. This does not include a Buccaneer (obse) shirt and medal as this is a separate race and fee. GO FAR 5k and 8k will be timed. 



Packet-Pick-Up (shirt, bib, check-in):

ALL GO FAR STUDENTS MUST COME TO PACKET PICK UP OR HAVE SOMEONE PICK UP THEIR PACKET FOR THEM ONE OF THE FOLLOWING DAYS!

The expos are a great way to get pumped-up for race day and the best opportunity to receive the correct information (bib and check-in) ahead of time!

  If your child is not attending race day, please still come pick-up your GO FAR T-shirt at the Expo on Thurs or Fri - this is the only way to get the T-shirt and it will still be a great opportunity to be able to take in some of the end of season action and family activities!!
