The Ugly Sweater Run and Walk is coming to Kortright this November 27th!
Tis the season to don those ugliest of sweaters, onesies and outfits, and get to the start line for a timed 3k, 5k and 10k festive trail run.
This will be happening on the opening weekend of the Magical Christmas Forest at the Kortright Centre for Conservation in Woodbridge - lights and decorations will be in full force for this event!
There will be post-race treats and hot drinks for everyone as well as awards and prizing!
As much as this is going to be a fun event for those of us participating, we will be raising funds for those many individuals and families that will have a harder season than most. A portion of the proceeds will be going towards the Daily Bread Food Bank. You can also help out, by making an online donation directly to the Daily Bread, bring cash to the event and we will forward to the Daily Bread Food Bank or you can drop off to your local Daily Bread (or local food bank) or the fire department. You can also bring non-perishable items with you - we will have boxes at the registration area.
What's included:
- Bib
- Finish line medal/tree ornament
- Post race food and hot beverages
- Prizes for ugliest sweater or onesie
- Park entrance fee
- Giveaways from Sue's Soap Creations
- Festive background
- High Resolution photos from Sue Sitki Photography
- DJ
- Awards
- and more!
