About the Ugly Sweater 5K - Canajoharie
The course runs along the Erie Canal bike trail, so the surface is smooth and the grade is gentle the whole way. It is a winter race, which means people show up in their worst holiday knitwear, and the sweater competition is its own event alongside the running.
The start and finish are in the parking lot at Wagner Square on Mohawk Street, which also doubles as a staging area. Packet pickup and registration both happen there on race morning before the gun, so there is no separate trip the day before.
