Join us for the 4th Annual Ugly Sweater Contest – Wear your most hideous holiday sweater during the race and a panel of judges will determine the absolute ugliest sweater. Winner will be rewarded with a limited edition Light the Way 5k branded sweater.
Light the Way 5k takes place on the sidewalk paths of Fort Missoula Regional Park and a 1/2 mile of crushed gravel path. Most years the course is covered in packed snow with patches of pavement.
We strongly encourage the use of headlamps, flashlights and any other item you can find to illuminate your way. We also encourage the use of traction devices on your running shoes. We may have rain, ice, or snow–be prepared for all types of weather conditions.
