Ugly Sweater 5k/Fun Run

Ugly Sweater 5k/Fun Run is held at Legacy Park in Norman, Oklahoma, on December 12, 2026. Two off-road formats start together at 4:00 PM: the 5k (3.1 miles) and The Merry Mile (1.6 km). Participants get a medal and a personalized bib, some entries include chip timing, free race photos are available, and a mobile app lets friends and family follow along and send messages.

Costumes are encouraged and the course is lit up, which tells you what kind of afternoon this is. Options for adults and children, including a fun run and a kids race, make it workable for a whole family in one trip. Off-road footing means the surface will be softer and less even than pavement, so choose shoes with a bit of grip and judge your effort rather than chasing a road personal best. A late-afternoon start also means you can run it after a normal day.
