About this race

The annual 5K is back and ready to hit the streets of historic downtown New Bern! Hosted by New Bern Parks and Recreation, this high-energy race is part of the iconic Mumfest weekend - a community favorite packed with music, food, arts, and family-friendly fun.

This year, the wait is over! We’re officially debuting the exciting new route we were ready to roll out last year—now better than ever. Runners will enjoy a partially closed course that winds right through the heart of the Mumfest festival footprint, putting you in the middle of all the action!

And because every great race deserves a great finish…  enjoy free mimosas at the finish line as you celebrate your run!
