Buckroe Beach 5k

Good morning! We are trying to get a hold of anyone that bought a Groupon. They are making it very difficult for us to reach participants as they said they don’t have an “email function”. A lot of the people that purchased Groupons didn’t make accounts so we don’t have any personal info to get in contact with them. If you’ve purchased a Groupon, please reach out to us or spread the word that the event this weekend is postponed! Thank you!

📣 Important Update: Buckroe Beach 5K Postponed 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We’re sorry to share that due to low participation, we will need to postpone the Buckroe Beach 5K originally scheduled for June 28th. We truly appreciate the support of those who have already signed up, but we didn’t reach the minimum number of runners needed to hold a successful event.

We’re currently working on selecting a new date and will announce it as soon as possible.

If you’ve already registered, you have two options:
✅ Keep your registration and join us on the new race day
💰 Request a refund within 45 days of the original race date

Please email us at [email protected] to let us know which option you prefer.

Thank you for understanding, and we can’t wait to run with you soon! 💙
