Traveling to The Hill Runner

air up/down at: 1142 Ocean Trail - turn on schoolhouse lane and the pumps will be on your right if you have your own way to air down you can air down at 1115 Ocean Trail - right when you turn down the road there will spots on the right to air down We strongly recommend 4x4 or AWD vehicles with at least 7.5 inches of ground clearance. Bring a tire pressure gauge. Reduced tired pressure is critical to driving on the beach. We strongly encourage your tire pressure to be 18-20 psi. Check the tide prior to arrival; low tide is ideal for beach driving: Outer Banks Tide Chart. Arrive before dark, as the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. The speed limit is 35 mph unless posted otherwise (15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Avoid driving through the surf and seafoam - salt water is extremely corrosive. Drive either on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or on the soft sand just east of the dune line. Leave the middle of the beach for parked vehicles and beach-goers.
