Race Information
When you hear the word mullet, do you think of the fish or the rockin’ hairstyle? With this race, the hope is your future answer will be both. To help Swansboro kick off their Mullet Festival, come 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.
