Even if you registered in the beginning of the season, you still need to register for this race specifically; for us to better organize who is attending.

We apologize if there has been confusion, but there must be a separate registration for the event to make it as efficient as possible for all; including Outer Banks Sporting Events that are wonderful enough to share their event with us.

Please remember to keep a check on the blog next week as there will be updated last week, expo, and race specifics!!

Even if you are not planning on attending race, please view the blog for expo info to make arrangements to pick-up the season GO FAR T-Shirt that was included with the fee at the beginning of the season!! This is a great opportunity to have family time to celebrate the finale events!!

If you are not going to be able to attend race day, please send an email OBXGOFAR@gmail.com, so I can check you off. Thank you to our 110 registrants!! We look forward to seeing more as the day goes on!!
