The Lighthouse-to-Lighthouse Toy Run & Ride is popular and a fan favorite—this year it’s a sunset ride! The ride has moved from Sunday morning to Saturday evening, September 20th, just after the close of OBX Jeep Invasion. Join us for a scenic sunset adventure from Bodie Island Light Station in Nags Head to Cape Hatteras Light Station in Buxton. The ride follows NC 12 down the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, crossing the Marc Basnight bridge over Oregon Inlet and the Jug Handle bridge around the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, passing through the tri-villages of Rodanthe-Waves-Salvo and the village of Avon. Meet up at Bodie Island Lighthouse in Nags Head (time to be announced), get in the group photo, and roll out into the sunset with a caravan of Jeeps®!
OBX Jeep Invasion is also a community and charity supporting event, through OBX Jeep Charities (501(c)3). In 2024, participation and generosity from attendees and sponsors resulted in a donation of $40,000 to charity and local community. The 2025 recipients are Kitty Hawk Ocean Rescue, Kitty Hawk Police Department, Room In The Inn, and Wounded Warriors in Action.
