The OBX® Half Marathon, presented by Gateway Bank...
Gateway Bank and Trust, Co. was founded in Elizabeth City, NC. Since opening in 1998, the Bank has expanded its market area to include other cities in northeastern North Carolina, the Outer Banks, and the thriving metropolitan Tidewater Virginia market area.
People come to a community bank because they are looking for a relationship, someone to partner with to address their financial needs, answer their questions, and find solutions to their financial problems. They want to be known by name. They want to pick up the phone or drop by the bank and talk to someone they know. They want someone who cares and will be around to help tomorrow. That is what they find at Gateway.
The OBX® Fun Run, presented by the Kelly Hospitality Group...
Kelly Hospitality Group is owned and operated by local restaurateur Mike Kelly. While visiting the Outer Banks, be sure to dine at one of Mike’s fine restaurants. Kelly’s Restaurant and Tavern has been a favorite among locals and visitors alike for over 20 years. Kelly’s is also one of the premier night spots on the Outer Banks. For a good race, visit Kelly’s for nightlife after the Race, not before! Penguins and gazelles welcome! Penguin Isle is a great place to relax before or after the race. Visit Penguin Isle for a great meal with a fantastic view of the sun setting over the Albemarle Sound. Could you use a few sharks on your heels for a faster race time? Try Mako Mikes. Sharks abound and the seafood pasta specials will fill you up and help you much more than the sharks!
