VIRTUAL RACE
Can’t be tacky with us on race day?  No worries. We offer a virtual option.  Know the joy of crossing the finish line using your own route, distance and best of all you can run or walk at your convenience. Virtual participants receive a race shirt, race number and finisher’s medal.

How It Works:

  • Participants in central Arkansas may pick up their race packet at regular packet pick up.
  • Participants outside of central Arkansas will have their goodies (race shirt, race number and medal) mailed Monday after the race.
  • Run or walk your race from wherever you are – whenever you want!
  • Starting December 20th you’ll have until December 30th to complete your virtual race.  
  • Virtual times should be submitted through your Race Roster dashboard.
  • Finish times will qualify for the Run Local Race Series, but registration for the series is required. 
  • When you have completed your race wear your medal proudly.
  • Post a picture of yourself and your medal on social media using #UglySweaterRace.

 ELF DASH
The Elf Dash is an untimed race for children 10 and under. 

  • The course is less than ¼ mile.
  • Parents are welcome to run with their children.
  • Elf Dash participants will receive a long sleeve cotton shirt, official race number, and stocking filled with treats.

REGISTRATION POLICIES
Please read carefully before you register and are charged an entry fee for this year’s event.  This section is considered a part of the race rules and regulations.

The Ugly Sweater Race does not happen overnight.  We must plan months in advance, which makes it difficult and costly to make changes after registration opens.  Medals, bibs, shirts and other items are ordered many months before the race and purchased according to information provided during initial registration. 

  • Participants who are unable to attend race day forfeit their right to a shirt and medal.
  • Race officials reserve the right to reject any registration.
  • The Ugly Sweater Race does not offer refunds for any reason and does not allow transfers to another individual.
  • Individuals caught participating with another participant’s number will be removed from the course and disqualified.
  • All participants under 18 years of age must have a parent or legal guardian sign their registration form to participate.
  • An official race number is required to participate in all races. NO BANDITS!  Please see FAQs for penalties for unauthorized individuals.
