Nothing will keep you warmer on this winter run than your ugliest sweater and the warmth and good cheer of the holiday season. Three Ugly Sweater 5Ks are coming to Syracuse, Rochester and Utica this winter, so start bundling up!

You'll receive an ugly sweater race shirt for participating, a gift that doubles as a tree ornament for finishing, and a jingle bracelet to carry the sounds of the season with you as you run the course. But don't forget that festive sweater! There's a contest for the best-dressed and most creative sweaters.

Syracuse runners get to immediately work off that Thanksgiving turkey on November 30. The Rochester race is December 7 and the Utica race is December 8.
