About the Christmas Eve Ugly Sweater
The course runs through Bradley Lake Park on Christmas Eve morning, so the surroundings are quiet and wintry. The park setting keeps things flat and open, and the crowd is mostly families in costume. Holiday inflatables line the route, and Santa makes an appearance near the finish area. A shorter kids' dash runs through an inflatable lane for the youngest attendees.
There is a food drive component tied to the event, with shelf-stable donations collected for a local foundation. Post-race goodies are available after the finish, and the event centers on Bradley Lake Park, which gives you a clear landmark to aim for on arrival.
