Course Description:

The Fort Macon trail is a multi-terrain trail that overlooks the ocean and takes you

through the one-of-a-kind environment of the Crystal Coast. The terrain includes sand,

boardwalk and dirt with dunes and hills through maritime forests. Although this trail is

somewhat challenging to run due to the changing terrain and hills, it makes it all the

more rewarding when you cross the finish line.

Community event in Atlantic Beach, Carteret County, NC 28512.
