Join the Elkhart Education Foundation for this year’s Ugly Sweater Run!
This event is your ticket to get into the Holiday Spirit! This is your chance to come out in your craziest holiday sweaters or colors and enjoy a nice run jog or stroll through the downtown area on accessible paths. A 5K (3.1 mile) course and 1 Mile course is offered.
This joyful event begins on Saturday December 6 at 8:30 AM at North Side Gym. After the race enjoy Winterfest in Elkhart with a full day of activities starting with Breakfast with Santa at the Fire Station for $2 Ice skating special sales Letters to Santa and a parade and tree lighting ceremony!
All proceeds from the Ugly Sweater go to the Elkhart Education Foundation which provides Elkhart Community Schools students and staff with the tools they need to succeed including a school supply store that provides school supplies to the students who need them a summer and STEAM based programs along with grants for staff to provide other programs in support of Elkhart Community Schools.
This is an easy way to support our local teachers and do something for yourself as well!
After you are finished enjoy a hot cup of coco or coffee from the Heart City Company truck in support of ECS Young Adult program!
Awards will be give to the top three overall runners and first place in 15 age groups along with multiple awards for the ugliest sweater!
Come on out with your friends and take pictures in front of our photo booth.
This event is one to do with your friends or perhaps invite a new friend…
Not a runner? No problem! We have the 1 Mile Stroll and are also looking for volunteers and cheer stations along the course.
