The Barrier Island Group’s annual “4 on the 4th” race is returning to Avon this summer for another festive celebration of community spirit, island pride, and Independence Day fun on Hatteras Island. Scheduled for Friday, July 3, the popular event invites locals and visitors alike to lace up their running shoes for a scenic four-mile run or walk through the Kinnakeet Shores neighborhood, along with a special 1,776-foot dash designed just for kids.

The 4th of July celebration will feature a collection of events which includes corresponding radio shows on the island's local station, Radio Hatteras FM 101.5 and 99.9, and an incredible front row view of the fireworks display from the pristine Cape Hatteras National Seashore beaches.
