Ellwood City Area Chamber of Commerce "Ugly Sweater 5K"
About this race
Santa put on his sweater and he asked with a smile, "How long is a 5K - is it more than a mile?”
One reindeer spoke up and shouted with glee, “to our calculations, it’s a little more than 3!”
Santa laced his red sneakers and turned to the deer, let’s register online and hit the pavement this year!
We’re thrilled to bring back the Ellwood City Area Chamber of Commerce Ugly Sweater 5K Fun Run for the seventh year
