Mosquito Endurance Run

The Mosquito Endurance Run is a unique running event hosted by the Friends of Fort Macon, taking place at Fort Macon State Park. Participants can choose between a Solo Ultra, a 3-member relay, or a 5K run. The Solo Ultra and relay teams will run a 3-mile trail loop from 7 PM to 7 AM, while the 5K consists of one lap of the Elliot Coues Trail.

The event aims to raise funds for park enhancements, including the preservation of a baby whale skeleton. Runners are required to bring their own hydration devices and headlamps, as the course is not fully lit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
