Ugly Sweater Run

The Ugly Sweater Run is an annual festive running event held in Brevard, North Carolina, featuring 5K and 10K distances. The scenic, mostly flat course winds through greenways, the Brevard Sports Complex, and charming local streets, with less than 100 feet of elevation gain on the 5K loop and a double loop for the 10K. The all-paved route is family, pet, and stroller friendly, making it accessible and fun for participants and spectators alike.

Runners don their most outrageous ugly sweaters, adding to the holiday spirit. The event includes chip timing, awards, festive prizes, a commemorative ornament, and a post-race party at Oskar Blues Brewery. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
