About this event
Break out your best business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back look for the 5K Mullet Run/Walk, one of Destin's most entertainingly eccentric annual traditions. On September 28, 2026, starting at 4 PM at Destin Brewery on Melvin Street, runners and walkers of all speeds lace up their shoes and sport their finest mullet hair (real or fake) for a 5K that's as much costume contest as footrace.
Registration is $40 and benefits the Destin History and Fishing Museum — a great cause that preserves the stories of Destin's legendary fishing heritage. After the race, stick around for the mullet attire contest to see who rocked the most legendary look, plus a mullet toss (the fish, not the hair) that makes this event uniquely, gloriously Destin.
Destin Brewery provides the perfect post-race backdrop with cold craft brews on tap to reward your efforts. Whether you're a serious runner chasing a PR or just there for the vibes and the costume contest, the 5K Mullet Run/Walk is a September tradition worth building your vacation dates around.
Best for: Runners, walkers, costume enthusiasts, fans of quirky local traditions, craft beer lovers
What to expect: Fun 5K run/walk with mullet attire costume contest and mullet toss, benefiting local history museum, with post-race craft beer at Destin Brewery
Planning tip: Register at $40 in advance — don't wait, spots fill up. Commit to the mullet costume for maximum fun and a shot at the attire contest win.
