The "Miles Cupcake 5k and Fun Run" is named after Shane Miles, former GO FAR Coach and ultra runner with a true love for people and running! Shane helped coach when the program had just begun on the Outer Banks and continued to volunteer over the years. His passion for running was contagious and inspiring, his dedication and determination were unwavering. OBX GO FAR is proud to name its Miles College Education Fund in honor of Shane Miles. The proceeds from this event will go to OBX GO FAR a non-profit children’s running program designed to build healthier, happier children and families. Your registration will help fund the Miles College Education Fund, provide scholarships for children who cannot meet registration fees in the GO FAR Children's program as well as help us cover the essential costs of our program.
You can create a TEAM with your friends, family or co-workers and WIN the "Biggest Batch" Cupcake Trophy! This milestone event is all about celebrating community, fitness and sweet treats that make life a little more fun. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the cupcakes this event has something for everyone!
