Movin' Mullet 5k Run
The Movin' Mullet 5k Run is a running event located in Swansboro, North Carolina. The race serves as a kickoff for the local Mullet Festival and takes place the Saturday before the festival begins. The event is organized by the Jacksonville-Onslow Sports Commission. Participants have the choice between an in-person race and a virtual option.
The event features the following distances:
- 5 km (In person)
- 5 km (Virtual)
Participants in the in-person 5 km race receive a finisher medal upon crossing the finish line. The organizers encourage participants to wear themed clothing and various styles of mullet hairstyles, referencing the dual nature of the "mullet" as both a fish and a hairstyle.
There is a specific category for stroller participants aged five and under. Children registered in this category are required to remain in their strollers for the duration of the event. The race begins at 106 Church Street and follows a course through the Swansboro area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
