Jockey’s Ridge State Park Visitor Center

Finish off your Independence Day weekend by supporting an OBX treasure! Outer Banks Sporting Events invites you to run/walk/overcome two miles on Jockey's Ridge, the tallest natural sand dune system in the eastern US! Attracting runners looking for a "unique" challenge (and drawing a very competitive field), we also welcome people to walk the course (not just a "walk in the park" though)! Proceeds benefit Friends of Jockey's Ridge, a local non-profit dedicated to supporting, preserving and enhancing Jockey's Ridge State Park. $5 Off for Active US Military and Veterans. Cost $55+ fees for adults, Kids (10-16) $30 + fees.

Join us in celebrating the 50th anniversary of our beloved Jockey's Ridge State Park! Friends of Jockey's Ridge is hosting a special event this year alongside the Killer Dunes 2-miler — a 1-mile COLOR Fun Run! See the event website and registration for a full schedule of events.
