Registration Closed

Registration is Closed!! 
We thank all of the participants and coaches who have joined us this year!! We are looking forward to a great fall season. 

If you missed us please join us for the turkey trot fundraiser races (sign - up now open) & Please attempt to join us for our spring season.

We are still accepting volunteer coaches or parent volunteers. Kitty Hawk is leading the way again this year for the most participants and we would love to have an empowered and enriching Head Coach to help at this supportive and spirited school. Nags Head Elementary is not far behind with the number of participants and is also in need of a Head Coach to help them GO FAR!! Please contact me @ lisah9@live.com immediately for more information or to volunteer. 

We are always open for sponsors as well, please contact us if you would like to support our efforts in molding a healthy community.
