Smaller race but it packs a punch with it's swag. Ocean Isle is the 4th race of the BAM series aka Big Ass Medals. Ocean Isle is pretty flat with the exception of the bridge you have to run across in mile 1 and mile 5. Water stops greet you about every 2 miles or so and you will see lots of homeowners out on their porches cheering on the runners. The ocean breeze is sure to keep you cool as you fight through your 13 miles. At the finish you are greeted with one of the largest medals I've ever seen, along with beer and BBQ. They don't call their medals BAM for no reason.
