The Original Ugly Christmas Sweater Dash
About the event
Dust off your most outrageous and uncomfortable Christmas sweaters from last year's closet or hit up your local thrift store to find something truly hideous. Pair it with spandex for an extra dash of humor, and get ready for the Ugly Christmas Sweater Dash® in Port Coquitlam on December 5! This untimed 5km run/walk is all about celebrating the holiday season in style—or rather, disheveled fashion.
The event promises a festive atmosphere as participants navigate a course marked with holiday-themed decorations. After crossing the finish line, warm up by the fire and enjoy bottomless hot chocolate or an adult beverage while munching on cookies. Trophies will be awarded for categories such as Ugliest Sweater, Best Group Costume, and even Ugliest Dog Sweater.
Registration includes an authentic Ugly Christmas Sweater Toque to complete your ensemble, making this dash not just a race but also the perfect opportunity to show off your holiday spirit in all its tacky glory.
