Another Round 25k

Event Format

The event involves completing five separate 5 km loops over a period of several hours. Participants must start a new loop at the top of each hour. The total distance is 25 km. There are individual and team (of two) participation options. Teams must alternate loops, with one person completing three loops and the other completing two.

Course & Location

The event takes place at Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nags Head. The course is a 5 km loop with a shared start and finish line. The route includes a small section of dunes to cross.

Rules & Timing

All loops are chip-timed, and final results are based on total cumulative time. Participants must be ready at the start line at the designated start time each hour. Each 5 km loop must be completed within 55 minutes. Participants who do not meet this cutoff time for a given hour are not permitted to continue and only their finished laps are counted.

Facilities & Atmosphere

Event parking is in the state park's lot. Bathrooms are available. Participants can refuel at the start/finish area between loops and are welcome to bring tents, coolers, and grills. Pets are allowed but must be on a leash. A festive area with music will be available. Food vendors will be on-site (for a cost). There is nearby beach and swimming access.

Participant Items

Every participant receives a t-shirt, a custom finisher medal, drinks, and snacks at the start/finish area. Food and beer are provided.

Awards

Awards are given based on cumulative time. Individual awards go to the top three overall male and female finishers. Team awards go to the top three teams, regardless of composition (co-ed, all-male, or all-female).
