Ellwood City Area Chamber of Commerce "Ugly Sweater 5K" is a running race on December 12, 2026 in Ellwood City, PA, with an entry fee of $20.
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!
