Ugly Sweater 5K Fun Run at LivingSocial Adventures

Ugly Sweater 5K Fun Run at LivingSocial Adventures

While it's up for debate whether everything happens for a reason, ugly sweaters were certainly printed with purpose. Start your yuletide celebrations right with a dollop of sillies and endorphins with this Adventure: a 5K ugly sweater run through Downtown Lawrence on December 1, with snow machines, reindeer games, holiday music during, post-race, kid and adult drinks (Sam Adams Angry Orchard, Winter Lager, and Boston Lager), and more. We'll line up in our worst threads and any other frivolous frock or accessory we can think of—think mustaches, large glasses, beads, and more. We can get started on pre-race drinks if we choose, but at 2 p.m. we'll get on our marks and start the great Ugly Sweater Run. Less racing and more meandering, we'll shuffle our feet through the course and take part in sanctioned distractions like sledding off-course, holiday-themed stands every mile, and hot chocolate stations. There will be snow—real or otherwise—so expect a winter wonderland regardless
