Things will get ugly on Windsor’s riverfront Sunday. The Optimist Club of Windsor will be hosting its first annual Ugly Sweater 5 km Run in support of the neonatal intensive care unit at Windsor Regional Hospital.
The run will begin at the Festival Plaza at 9 a.m. and will follow a course along the riverfront to Centennial Park and back.
Optimist Club president, Stephane Beaudin encourages people of all abilities to participate. Both runners and walkers are welcome. The only requirement is that they wear their ugliest holiday garb.
The event will include holiday music, decorations, a photo hub and a hot chocolate station. After the race an award for ugliest sweater will be presented by Angela Teodorescu, Miss LaSalle.
Last minute sign up is still available on the Ugly Sweater Run website. On site sign up will also be available starting at 8:30 a.m. Sunday. The cost is $55.
