Details from event's RunSignUp.com listing:
Run this beautiful 5K course through the historic fishing village before your big Thanksgiving feast! The proceeds from this race support the Hatteras Island Youth Education Fund (HIYEF). During the 2022-2023 school year, HIYEF provided more than $55,000 back to our two Cape Hatteras Schools. HIYEF provides funding for educational and enrichment opportunities for our Hatteras Island students.
Water is provided on the course. This is not a timed race; it is a family fun event, if you want to know your time please wear a watch or make sure you look at the clock at the finish line. This is a non-refundable charity event. Race is rain or shine but will be canceled for safety reasons in the event of severe weather. Slower runners and walkers should start at the back of the corral. Leashed dogs and strollers are welcome; we just ask that you begin at the back of the crowd for safety purposes. Please note that bikes, e-bikes, scooters or skates are permitted on the race course.
