About the race
The Ugly Sweater Dash Half Marathon is a festive running event held at Burke Lake Park in Fairfax Station, Virginia. Participants can choose from 5k, 10k, or half marathon distances, all featuring scenic, fairly flat, and well-maintained trail courses with some natural obstacles like roots. The half marathon consists of two out-and-back loops, while the shorter races are single out-and-back routes.
Runners are encouraged to wear their ugliest or favorite holiday sweaters, creating a fun and spirited atmosphere. The event supports the charity Paws for Purple Hearts and offers finisher medals, technical shirts, chip timing, and a virtual race option for remote participants. Walkers are also welcome.
