Idaho’s Ugliest Sweater Run – About

Idaho’s Ugliest Sweater Run is the most festive, over-the-top holiday fun you’ll have on two feet (or four!). This 12 Days of Christmas–themed course features a new, hilarious, and joy-filled station every quarter mile—each inspired by the classic song.

From an eggnog chugging challenge to a fruitcake eating contest, participants will experience nonstop holiday cheer and a whole lot of laughs. And yes… the uglier the sweater, the better. We’re hosting an Ugly Sweater Contest for both humans and dogs, so bring your best (or worst) holiday drip.

As you cross the finish line, get ready for a magical burst of falling snow, perfect for photos and unforgettable memories. Participants can cozy up for pictures with Santa Claus, while Mrs. Claus brings extra sparkle with face painting for kids and kids-at-heart.

Idaho’s Ugliest Sweater Run isn’t just a race—it’s a full-on Christmas celebration built for families, friends, runners, walkers, and holiday lovers of all kinds.
