About the 11th Annual Niceville Ugly Sweater Run/Walk
The theme is ugly sweaters, and runners are encouraged to wear their worst or tackiest holiday outfit to the start. The course starts and finishes at a restaurant in Bluewater Bay, with a shorter distance for younger kids running alongside the main event. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and so are jogging strollers.
Registration is available online in advance and also on race morning at the venue. Arriving a bit before the start gives you time to sort everything out on site.
