When was the last time you ran down a beautiful beach, jumping over obstacles, crawling through pipes, carrying sandbags, laughing and encouraging others as well as yourself? Hundreds who would answer, “Why, just last June at Storm the Beach!”
We probably all agree that life is full of obstacles, but the folks who have challenged themselves to be a part of this Outer Banks race seem to approach them differently. They literally tackle them with enthusiasm and vigor! There’s something to be learned here. Storm the Beach, Outer Banks Sporting Events’ signature June event, provides the time and place to meet this challenge.
Think beach, surf, sand, fun! The No. 1 obstacle is the sand. Run the distance and endure creative obstacles made of inner tubes, surf boards, tiki mats, crab pots and more.
Get in the ocean during “The Last Dip.” Naturally, the ocean is part of this obstacle course! Participants will run from the sand into waist-deep water – go around an anchored buoy and back.
“The Sea Monster Chase” conquers dexterity. Test your agility by running through 30 giant beach floats, then meet the next challenge, “Climbing the Walls”! Several walls, some as high as 8 feet, are designed to get your mates working as a team. It’s gnarly! Power through “The Pipeline”! Crawl through the sand to the ocean’s edge. You get the picture – challenge, adventure, accomplishment, fun.
