Movin' Mullet 5k Run
presented by Bob Mills Mitsubishi
October 7, 2023

When you hear the word mullet, do you think of the fish or the rockin’ hairstyle? With our race, we hope your future answer will be both. To help Swansboro kick off their Mullet Festival, we will hold the Movin’ Mullet 5K the Saturday before the festival on October 7th.

We hope that you will use this opportunity to show off your fun clothing and awesome mullet hairstyles. Whether it is the North Carolina Neck Warmer, the Kentucky Waterfall, the Camero Crash Helmet, the Tennessee Top Hat, the Beaver Paddle, the El Camino Headrest, or even the Mississippi Mudflap, all mullets are welcomed…and actually encouraged.

We know that you will be all business in the front at the start line but that it will be a party in the back when you receive your medal as you cross the finish line. So channel your inner Billy Ray Cyrus, Wayne and Garth, John Daly, Andrew Agassi, Mel Gibson, every '80's wrestler or Tina Turner and go ahead and register now and claim your spot.

Merry Fitness 5k
December 16, 2023

Join us as GOTR/STRIDE celebrate the completion of a 10-week run program!

We believe that accomplishment comes in all flavors and everyone who participates, whether they run, walk, hop, skip, or even cartwheel across the finish line. It is to be honored and congratulated.

The season of learning about the importance of taking care of our emotional and physical health truly embodies our mission of inspiring young ladies and men to be joyful, healthy, and confident as the culminating event of the GOTR/STRIDE curriculum. It is a moment in time that beautifully reflects the very essence of the program goals.

Public runners are welcome as this race provides scholarships to children who need assistance participating in the Girls on the Run and STRIDE programs. Professional race production by the New River YMCA and timing by Run with the East ensures a fun, safe, and accurate 5K race experience.
