4th Annual Wrightsville Beach Biathlon
Time to Shine…
March.22-23.2013
TEAM RELAYS
Bring Your Best
The Wrightsville Beach Biathlon is like no other event on the East Coast. Why? Because it’s the only one of it’s kind in the area to replace the swim portion with Standup Paddleboard. Last year, we changed things up a bit and we want you to get involved. When the WBB was conceived, it was all about the celebration of community. So by offering special corporate sponsorship’s, we invite you to gather your staff & gather your fellow athletes–family, friends & neighbors (Ringers are welcome!) to wear your logo proudly in a friendly beach challenge. This is your chance to shine! Relay Teams will fight the flatwater around Money Island & the rushing wind pier to pier in a battle of guts, glory and honor. It’s all for the soon-to-be coveted Masonboro Trophy that will wear your logo until the 2014 winner is crowned the following year. The Trophy will be displayed in the Blockade Runner Beach Resort lobby following the race where it will be viewed by 70,000 guests who enter our doors each year.
8 Miles Surf to Sound:

I am an individual…….can I still do this if I am a solo runner sup’er?
Of course! We have individual divisions as well. Unfortunately, online registration ended yesterday morning but you can still meet us at Blockade Runner tommorrow (Friday) at 6:30PM for packet pickup and registration. Hope to see you there!
Do I have to wear a leash and PFD? How is transition set up? Is there a grassy area where I can leave my shoes for the run and ditch my booties? will someone grab my SUP for me when i’m exiting the water? Is the run at low tide? Thanks.
Hi Colin,
Thanks for your interest!
State law states that you do have to wear a PFD in the Intracoastal, however, you do not have to wear a leash (although we suggest that you bring one). There is a grassy area for bootie to shoe swap. That should be no problem at all. There will be someone to catch your board and it is going to be low tide. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Can I tape the PFD to my board like I see in the Wrightsville SUP race photos?
Yes, that’s fine.
Masonboro Skiff Company is proud to be participating in this 4th annual SUP and Run event.
Our flagship vessel Macomber 15″ will be providing support as a committee vessel and maritime support where needed.
Masonboro Skiff Company, a new boat building company, is excited to become a new fixture here in Wrightsville and the Coastal areas of the Carolinas.
Please visit our website http://www.masonboroskiffcompany.com and like us on Facebook. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our handmade solid hardwood skiffs. Maybe someday we will build one for you.
Good luck to all the athletes !
I’m following Colin’s post….do you have to WEAR the PFD or just have it on your board? Thanks.
On your board is fine.
Board Storage still available at the BR for the night before “if” you’re staying offsite?
Board storage is only available to guests of the resort.
Thanks Jenny! Its all good!
