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.

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.
