Mullets & Mustaches Run

Mullets & Mustaches Run is held in Fort Myers, Florida, on November 14, 2026. There are two formats: the Mullets & Mustache 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:00 a.m. and a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk that follows at 8:05 a.m. The tongue-in-cheek name sets the tone, and the short distances keep the morning accessible to everyone.

Take the 5K as seriously or as lightly as you like. Runners chasing a time get an early start and a short course, and the smart move is still an even effort: settle in during the first mile and press over the last one. The 1-mile suits kids, walkers, and anyone dipping a toe into organized events. Six weeks of three short runs a week is plenty for the 5K, and one of those sessions can include a few 1- to 2-minute pickups at race effort. If you plan to dress up in the spirit of the event, test the outfit on a training run first so nothing chafes or slips once you are moving at speed.
