JOSC Race Series Toeing the Start Line for Summer

The JOSC Race Series has some events coming up:
 

Running with the Law 5k/10k

Sunset Pursuit

August 5, 2025

Run for a cause and make a difference! All proceeds from this epic glow run will benefit the NC Special Olympics, helping support local athletes disabilities and giving them the chance to shine. By registering, you're not just lacing up your sneakers for fun – you're helping provide opportunities for athletes to compete, grow, and thrive. So, join us for a night of glowing fun, community spirit, and making a real impact. Let’s light up the night and support a great cause together!

Movin' Mullet 5k

Presented by Marine Chevy

October 4, 2025

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 4th.

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.

Miles for Mammos

October 18, 2025

This flat, fast race kicks off at 8am after an energizing warmup. This course is perfect for walkers and runners of all ages and abilities and is stroller friendly! Around the halfway point is a water station to hydrate you as you make your way to the finish line. Coming up the final stretch you will be greeted by cheers from spectators and fellow runners. You’ll receive a finishers medal after crossing the finish line and be able to refuel with the delicious post race snacks!
