NSRF Nassau Ugly Sweater 5K
The NSRF Nassau Ugly Sweater 5K is a themed running and walking event on December 13, 2026 at Hempstead Lake State Park in West Hempstead, NY. The main distance is 5K; a free kiddie dash is offered for younger participants. Both in-person and virtual entry options are available, with a virtual participation window running from December 13 to December 20.
Participants receive an ugly sweater medal and a long sleeve tee. There is an option to have a bib mailed for a fee, with mailed bibs available only for registrations completed at least ten days before the event. In-person bib pickup is handled by event staff near the staging area.
On-site amenities include an informal bag check area, bathrooms within a short walk of the start and finish, hydration at the finish line, and refreshments provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Live online, email, and text results are offered, along with free finish-line photos and other event photos posted after the race. Standings for age groups and overall top finishers will be posted online and communicated to participants; no race awards will be presented at the event.
A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports athletic and charitable programs, including youth and special needs events and athlete development. Registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
