National Lighthouse Day Festival and Run for the 5k, 10k and One Mile Fun Run!
The Run for the Light course is a scenic run near coastal dunes and through the maritime forest on Bald Head Island, NC.

The festival will be taking place on the lighthouse grounds, the start and finishing site for The Run for the Light. This event is perfect to showcase one of North Carolina’s most beautiful beaches and historic sites– it will be one to mark off your bucket list!
