Flying Pirate Half Marathon Weekend

Thank you 2013 Flying Pirate Participants! We hope that you had a great time at our event. The weather was perfect and you all looked great out there. The costumes were amazing and we appreciate you coming to our beach to be Pirates for a day! Arrrgghh!
See you next year!

"I run a lot of races every year. Your event is well organized, the finisher medals are unique, the other swags are pretty nice, the tech shirt and cotton shirt are outstanding, the post race party is fun and the course is beautiful. The volunteers were some of the most enthusiastic I've ever seen and everyone that I encountered was pleasent, helpful and courteous. This was truly a well organized, professional and fun event. I will recommend it to all of my running friends." ~ Ron P. 2013 Flying Pirate participant
