Ugly Sweater 5K

The Ugly Sweater 5K & Merry Mile is a festive running and walking event held in Falmouth, Maine, as part of the Very Merry Falmouth weekend celebration. The 5K is a chip-timed road race for runners featuring a course along Depot Road, US Route 1, Route 88, and local streets, starting and finishing at the American Legion parking lot. Walkers are encouraged to join the Merry Mile, a 1-mile fun walk along Route 1’s sidewalk.

Participants are invited to wear ugly sweaters, with awards for the "ugliest" and "most original" outfits. Proceeds benefit the Falmouth Memorial Library, and the event offers family discounts, refreshments, and a friendly holiday atmosphere.
