Ugly Sweater Run - Olmsted Falls
The Ugly Sweater Run is a holiday-themed event held in Olmsted Falls, Ohio. Participants are encouraged to wear festive or humorous ugly sweaters while completing the course. The event features two primary distances:
- 5K
- Kids Run
The route takes runners and walkers through the streets of Olmsted Falls, with both the start and finish lines located at the Olmsted Community Center. The event is open to participants of all ages and abilities.
The race serves as a fundraiser for the Christians in Action food pantry, supporting local families in need. In addition to monetary proceeds, the organization accepts donations of non-perishable goods and toiletries. Frequently requested items include pasta, canned meats, boxed dinners, peanut butter, and hygiene products such as toothpaste and soap.
Registered participants receive a custom long-sleeve running shirt designed with a holiday sweater theme. Following the run, the event provides festive refreshments, including hot cocoa, cookies, and various post-race snacks. Packet pick-up is held inside the community center prior to the start of the races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
