The Oak Island Lighthouse 10K offers runners and walkers a challenging course with unique and breathtaking views. The 10K event will begin with a "slight" incline as it crosses the Oak Island Bridge. The bridge is over a mile long. You will find it difficult to match the view of the Intracoastal Waterway and coastal marshland seen from the bridge. The course continues to visually delight participants as it winds through neighborhoods of sprawling oak trees and Yaupon Hollies, and then suddenly opens up to the beach, ocean and the sounds of seagulls. During the last segment of the course, participants will find encouragement as the Oak Island Lighthouse stands before them, beckoning them to the finish. The 5K event will share some of the same route as the 10K, but will begin near the Caswell Beach Town Hall.

The Southport-Oak Island Chamber of Commerce sponsors the 5K & 10K. The 2009 event will take place on April 18, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female, and in each age group.

The Oak Island Lighthouse 10K is held on Oak Island, 45 minutes southeast of Wilmington, NC and one hour north of Myrtle Beach, SC.
