ABOUT the Bogue Banks Tip2Tip 2024 Event
Cycling Event
Conceived in late spring 2021, the Tip2Tip idea was brought to fruition by the Selma Cyclapaths and the Tackle Box Tavern. This year we'll have a new host, Homer's Point Marina & Pub. We'll start and finish in Salter Path!
It is a joint effort to bring exposure to the Bogue Banks area (also a part of the Crystal Coast) and help raise funds for MS research.
This is now a yearly cycling event based on Bogue Banks, anchored by facilities and resources to support a worthy cause.
The event is SAG supported by volunteers. SAG is available for pickup in case you run into physical or mechanical trouble. A wristband, obtained during check-in, is required for SAG support.
MS Research
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.
The Tip2Tip is an effort to raise additional funds to support continued research for a cure. Over the past several decades the research effort has led to many new treatments that have greatly helped those that suffer with MS. We hope to find a cure one day.
Bogue Banks
From the middle of the island you ride to the end of the island to the other, the 50 mile route will have you visit Ft. Macon State Park and then ride to the Coast Guard Station west of Emerald Isle.
The 62 mile route will leave Salter Path and head to the west end of the island, then over the bridge to Hwy 24 (headed east). The route will proceed to Country Club Road in Morehead City, back past the Haystacks and return over the bridge to Atlantic Beach. You'll head towards Ft. Macon before returning to Salter Path.
For those that are not up to the task of the longer 50 mi route, you can reduce it to 25 miles by going east to Ft. Macon and back or heading west to the Emerald Isle Coast Guard Station and back.
Along these routes are numerous places to view local attractions or stop by a beach access point.
