so popular, pre-registration is strongly recommended. Call (252) 255-1050 a
week before Thanksgiving to register.

oldest continuous hang-gliding competition in the country is held each May
at the 420-acre Jockey's ridge State Park. Kitty Hawk Kites sponsors the
Annual Hang Gliding Spectacular & Air Games.

2003 marked the 20th year of the Nags Head Woods Preserve’s 5K Run. This

there is an Outer Banks Triathlon. Held since 1983 on Roanoke Island,

her spirits soaring.
