Ugly Sweater Run

So you've competed in a few 5k races before, but have you ever faced the adversity of running in an itchy, ugly Christmas sweater? Register for the Ugly Sweater Run, and bring a toy (for Tots) to put under the inflatable Christmas tree before drowning your burned calories in free, post-race hot chocolate and beer. The course goes through Chinatown and around LA State Historic Park—popular yet uncomfortable, perhaps LA's ugly sweater of parks?
