Ugly Sweater 5K Run/Walk

The Ugly Sweater 5k, presented by Northwestern Mutual, is coming up on Saturday, December 6, 2025! Hosted by the Rotary Club of La Crosse—After Hours (RAH), this festive, family-friendly event is one you won't want to miss. This year's race will be offered both in-person and virtually. Packet pick-up and race-day check-in will be at The Nature Place (formerly the Myrick Park Center) beginning at 3:00 p.m. with holiday music and character appearances to kick off the fun. Same-day registration will also be available. The race begins at 4:15 p.m. in Myrick Park, where participants will run or walk through the La Crosse marsh trails under sparkly lights, and finish at Rotary Lights in Riverside Park. An award ceremony will follow at 5:15 p.m. in the heated tent at Rotary Lights - complete with ugly sweaters, holiday lights, and plenty of cheer!
