Ugly Sweater Run - Olmsted Falls

Sunday, December 27, 2026Olmsted Falls, OH0.25 Miles – 5K

The Ugly Sweater Run is a spirited holiday celebration that invites runners and walkers of all ages to hit the streets of Olmsted Falls in their most outrageous festive attire. Hosted by Run The Land, this 5K event turns the post-Christmas season into a community party centered at the Olmsted Community Center. Participants are encouraged to embrace the theme with hilarious sweaters, and every runner receives a custom long-sleeve shirt to match the spirit of the day. Beyond the fun, the race serves a meaningful purpose by supporting the Christians in Action food pantry through donations and proceeds. The morning features a chip-timed 5K, a kids' run, and festive perks like a hot cocoa station and cookie decorating. It is the perfect way to keep the holiday cheer alive while making a positive impact on local families in need.
