Be part of the Outer Banks Marathon without running a step!  Thousands of volunteers are needed from Kitty Hawk to Roanoke Island along the 26.2-mile course to staff and set up water stations, work the Expo and offer support to runners at the Start and Finish. Don't miss out!  Volunteer teams and themes welcome!

The benefits of becoming an Outer Banks Marathon Race Crew Volunteer include a commemorative Race Crew T-Shirt, the satisfaction of helping others and you'll have a great time!
