Grab your Ugly Sweater + Run 5k or 10k
Dec 4 @ 8:30 am
Riveter

– Dust off those ugly sweaters and elf ears because it’s time to register for the 2nd Annual
Ugly Sweater Run presented by Hunter Subaru on Saturday, December 4, 2021 at 8:30am. This local favorite,
holiday-themed, running event takes place in Mills River, NC at the Riveter, a premier indoor climbing gym,
bike park, and wellness arena. Runners can choose from a 5k or 10k. A Virtual race option for each distance is
also available. Holiday cheer is strongly encouraged!

The courses start at the Riveter and run along scenic, rural paved and farm roads, and then return to the
Riveter for even more merriment. After your run, don’t forget to doll yourself up for our Ugly Sweater Costume
contest, prizes for winners from the Riveter. There’ll be delicious food from the Taste Buds Food Truck, holiday
drinks, and refreshments (including adult beverages and coffee), and plenty of activities including a premier
bike park and a climbing wall. Chill out after the race and unwind at the Riveter’s wellness studio with a post
race massage. Check out the Riveter for more details.
Both the 5k and 10k races include something for everyone. Sign up for the event and get a cozy, ugly-sweater
t-shirt, a Hunter Subaru swag bag, and an Ugly Sweater Christmas Ornament at the finish line. There is no
better way to celebrate a great race than to hang your finisher bling on the Christmas tree! All levels are
welcome, so you can run at a relaxed pace and take selfies, or run your heart out and get a personal best.
