About the Ugly Sweater 5k
The Ugly Sweater 5K runs through Floyd Lamb Park, a green stretch that sits well outside the usual Las Vegas strip scenery. The terrain is flat and the route is straightforward, which makes it easy to focus on the actual point: wearing something absurd. This year's casino-themed concept means the costumes skew creative, and most people show up to play along.
Red Rock Running Company hosts this one, so expect a setup typical of a shop-organized event: organized, approachable, and a little more personal than a big-production race. Floyd Lamb Park has parking on site, and the start is right there at the park, so logistics are simple.
