From the Organizer
Welcome to the Ugly Pajama 5K—the only race where the crazier the pajamas, the better! Today, we’re celebrating cozy chaos, bold patterns, fuzzy slippers, and everything fabulously mismatched. Whether you’re rocking reindeer onesies, plaid PJs, or sleepwear so questionable it should probably stay indoors… you’re in the perfect place.
This event brings together runners, walkers, families, and pajama enthusiasts of all kinds for a lighthearted, laughter-filled 5K. So zip up, tie those robe belts tight, and get ready to strut your stuff on the course. Comfort meets competition as we kick off this fun, spirited run—where style points are definitely awarded for ridiculousness.
We are running on Johns Creek Pkwy in Johns Creek, GA starting at 9:00 am.
There will be a finisher medal for everyone and a great race-themed shirt.
We’ll also be presenting overall and age-group awards in the usual 5-year categories starting at 10 & under, giving runners of all ages a chance to shine.
Let’s embrace the silly, stay warm, and make some unforgettable (and very fashion-challenged) memories. Welcome to the Ugly Pajama 5K—let’s pajama-party our way to the finish line!
