Wearing a sweater while running isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes the weather is a little too warm for such a thing, even in December. However, if you have a repulsive-looking sweater or some other odd clothing that can pass muster, then the Ugliest Christmas Sweater 5K is the place to be next week.
JUST DO IT: Wear the fleece pajamas or the ugly sweater. It doesn’t really matter, as long as it’s repulsive enough to wear during a 5K run through downtown Manahawkin. (File Photo by David Biggy)
Scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 14, the main race will begin at 9:30 a.m., and walkers and strollers are welcome.
