About the race
The Ugliest Sweater Run is a non-competitive holiday-themed run or walk held at Miller Park in Bloomington. The event is organized by Bloomington Parks and Recreation and Fleet Feet Bloomington and offers two route options that circle the park.
Participants can choose from these distances:
- 3 miles two and a half loops around Miller Park
- 1.5 miles one and a half loops around Miller Park
Prizes are awarded in several sweater categories, including Most Creative Sweater Engineering, Cutest in an Ugly Sweater, Walking Christmas Tree Award, Best Sweater in Motion, Most Likely to Overheat from Excessive Decorations, and Best 3D Outfit.
Registration and race-day procedures are electronic; there are no paper race forms. Bib pick up is available at Fleet Feet Bloomington on Friday during regular store hours and at the Miller Park Pavilion before the event. Participants who pre-order a long-sleeved unisex cotton shirt pay a combined fee; the shirt pre-order deadline is November 30 and very limited extras will be available for purchase on race day.
The entry fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. The Race Directors may delay or cancel the event if conditions are unsafe; in the event of cancellation there is no refund of the entry fee, and shirts will remain available for pick-up. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
