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.
