Louisiana Oaks Park to Host 10th Annual U.G.L.Y. Sweater Dash

Gather your most garish sweater and swiftly prepare to dash through the cold, because the U.G.L.Y. Sweater Dash is making its groundbreaking return to Louisiana Oaks Park on December 8, for its celebrated 10th anniversary. This quirky, festive 5K invites participants to boldly display their most hideous holiday apparel as they run, jog, or walk through a course that loops around Louisiana Oaks Park and the decorated Oak Hill Park.

After crossing the finish line, dashers can conveniently make their way across the street to Park Tavern to warm up and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow racers. Not only will participants each receive a race medal to commemorate their achievement, but they also get to indulge in a goodie bag. For the convenience of racers, pre-race packet pickup is scheduled for two days prior, on December 6, with details to be communicated to all participants. The U.G.L.Y. Sweater Dash is a family-friendly event that opens its gates to all ages, ensuring a wide array of sweater designs and holiday cheer.

Those wishing to partake should be aware of the registration fees, priced at $45 if you register between October 14 and December 7. However, for those who decide to join in on the fun last minute, race day registrations are accepted starting at 4 p.m. on the day of the event for $50. To ensure you don’t miss out, visit
