About the Ugly Sweater Dash 2026
The Ugly Sweater Dash in Bloomingdale is built around the dress code. Runners and walkers show up in holiday sweaters, the louder the better, and the atmosphere follows from that. There are a couple of distance options, so people come with kids, with grandparents, with whoever is in town for the holidays.
Hot chocolate and cookies are waiting at the finish line. That is the post-race situation. It fits the vibe of the morning about as well as anything could.
