Ugly Sweater Run

Mark your busy calendars and tell your friends and family - The Ugly Sweater Walk/Run is back for another year of festive and *free* fun!    

This event will take place on Sunday, December 20th starting at 9:00 am. (Yes, we listened- the start time will be one hour later this year!  )

Activities start & finish by Hogan’s Fountain in Cherokee Park. There will be 2.5, 5, and 7.5 mile road options. As always, this event untimed & non competitive. Walk, run, or frolic- all paces are welcome!  

Ugly sweaters aren’t mandatory, but festive gear sure is encouraged. Jogging strollers and friendly, leashed doggos are welcome. ___ will be on site with the newest shoes on the market to demo. There will be festive donuts/cookies, Sunergos coffee, a hot cocoa bar, gingerbread man decorating contest, and more! 

Don’t forget to hydrate after you get your seasonal sweat on- KorfEdge will be providing Gatorade and water! Bubbly beverages from Elixir Kombucha will be on site as well. Free professional photos will be uploaded after the event, thanks to Pic.Run and Run Louisville KY (join their Facebook group to snag your post run pics ASAP!) Group photo will be taken at the start, next to Hogan’s Fountain, at 8:58 a.m.  

Registration is free, but please consider donating to The Dream Factory when you do hit that register button. The Dream Factory is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the largest all-volunteer driven children’s wish-granting organization that does not limit its mission to children who have life-threatening illness. The organization believes children with chronic illnesses and disorders also suffer from substantial emotional and physical pain. Last year, the Ugly Sweater Fun Run and Walk raised over $1000! All the funds went directly towards granting a child’s wish. 

This year’s raffle will be starting at 10:30am in the pavilion across from Hogan’s Fountain. No need to sign up. Just show up and grab a raffle ticket from one of our selfless elves. Let’s make merry & put the sweat in sweater!!
