About the Event

🎄✨ Ugly Sweater & Elf Dash – Christmas Eve 5K Run/Walk ✨🎄

Join us for the 8th Annual Christmas Eve Ugly Sweater & Elf Dash 5K Run/Walk at Bradley Lake Park in Puyallup, WA—the most festive Christmas Eve run/walk in Pierce County! Kick off your holiday with a bang at this fun, family-friendly tradition set in Puyallup, a true Hallmark community.

Break out your ugliest sweater, dress as your favorite holiday elf, and soak in the Christmas cheer. With holiday inflatables, Santa’s house, and the much-anticipated arrival of Jolly Ol’ St. Nick, this event has become a can’t-miss tradition for families year after year.  Whether you’re running, walking, or simply enjoying the magic of Christmas Eve, this event is all about joy, community, and holiday spirit.
