Celebrate the holiday season with the return of the Ugly Sweater Run, now in its seventh year and hosted by Hunter Subaru at Oskar Blues Brewery in Brevard, North Carolina. This festive race offers runners and walkers a scenic route through picturesque greenways, around the local Sports Complex, and along charming neighborhood streets. The 5K course is mostly flat with minimal elevation gain, making it ideal for families, strollers, and even pets decked out in their holiday finery. For those seeking more mileage, the 10K features a double loop of the same enjoyable terrain. Both distances are designed on paved surfaces that offer easy access to spectators, ensuring everyone can join in the fun. The event promises an atmosphere brimming with holiday cheer and community spirit. In addition to the joyous run itself, participants will receive official Ugly Sweater Commemorative Finisher Medals as a special memento of their participation. Early bird youth registration is available for $25, increasing to $30 later on. So bundle up in your most outrageous holiday attire and join us for an unforgettable day filled with fitness and festivity!
