Disclosure: My family and I were invited to participate in this event for free, in exchange for my post. All opinions are my own.
Alright friends, who loves a family friendly 5k? Most people do, now who loves a great Ugly Sweater Party? Oh we all do!! So let’s combine those two things and what does that give you? The famous Ugly Sweater Run!
Denver is hosting the Ugly Sweater Run on Saturday December 20th, 2014. Are you coming? We are! This will be our first Ugly Sweater Run but we are SOOOO ready – you see, we already attended an Ugly Sweater party so we are totally set!!
Ugly Sweater Denver Event Information:
Location – Dick’s Sporting Goods Park 6000 Victory Way, Commerce City, Colorado
Date – Saturday December 20th, 2014
Time – 11:00am
What to Wear: Be flashy, be sparkly, be ugly, be perfect, have fun! Find that perfect outfit that will make people smile! The “Ugly Sweater” format is perfect because it really gives people a chance to break out their inner sense of humor and creativity!
Includes: Each Ugly Sweater runner receives a custom vintage knit hat, unlimited hot chocolate, and one Winter Lager (if you’re of age of course!). A closed course full of Hot Chocolate aide stations, snow blowers, and the biggest Santa inflatable around will await you. Make sure to enter the ugly sweater contests to win great prizes.
This event is very family friendly. You can even bring strollers – just be careful of runners. Have fun and bring the family. This is so family friendly that kids under 5 get to run for free! Bonus!! So not only will you get to enjoy this holiday tradition but your kids can too!
Not only is this a fun event but it also is an event that benefits a charity. The Ugly Sweater Run is benefiting Save the Children. Save the Children invests in childhood – every day, in times of crisis and for our future. In the United States and around the world, Save the Children gives children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. So when you register do not forget to donate to the cause as well!!
Guess what? I am not a runner, sure I have attempted the C25K program and enjoyed it. But just so you all know, this is not a timed run so for those of you that just want to come out and enjoy a Denver Christmas tradition in an Ugly Sweater – come take a walk with us!
Check out the Ugly Sweater Run Promo video. I am so ready to see the fun next Saturday!
