The Movin' Mullet 5k Run is a 5K in Swansboro, North Carolina, timed for the Saturday before the town's Mullet Festival. The race is presented by Marine Chevy and gives the festival weekend an early start, with an in-person 5K, a virtual 5K option, and a free stroller category for children ages 5 and under. The start is listed around downtown Swansboro, with The Boro Restaurant & Bar on Front Street named as the race start and 106 Church Street used as the event location. The hook is the mullet joke in both senses: the local fish and the haircut. Runners are encouraged to wear fun clothes and show off any version of the style, from a "Kentucky Waterfall" to an "El Camino Headrest," with the race promising business at the start line and a party at the finish medal.
