The Jolly Roger is proud to once again be a platinum level sponsor of the 2015 Ocracoke Island 5K/10K Race. This year’s event will be held on Saturday April 25th, 2015 starting at 8am with the 1 Mile Family Fun Run starting after the finish of the 5K and 10K races.

The race begins at the outskirts of the Village and the course takes runners past the Ocracoke Lighthouse, the harbor, down historic Howard Street and circles back to the finish line at Gaffer’s Sports Pub. Food, music, and beverages will be provided at Gaffer’s after the race. Last year's race raised over $30,000.00 for 3 of Ocracoke's non-profits and proceeds were divided equally between WOVV Ocracoke Community Radio, the Ocracoke School Athletic Boosters Club, and the Ocracoke Community Park. Over 300 runners participated in the event. This year's race will support the same non-profits. 

To become a sponsor for the 2016 event which is scheduled to include a Half Marathon, contact Race Director Greg Honeycutt at 252-207-1305 or greg@oceanatlanticrentals.com.
