Description

From dealing with unannounced visits from cantankerous extended family, to making sure that the gift-count between the kids is equitable, the days leading up to Christmas can be incredibly high-stress. And by the time the weekend before Christmas has arrived, the typical holiday distractions have lost their appeal.

So why not try something unique this year- that will both entertain family members of all ages, and work out any Yuletide anxiety- and register for Sweaty Sheep’s “Merry Christmas 5k”! Your registration fee supports both Sweaty Sheep, a Christian outreach program, and the homeless community of Louisville.

This event will include:

  •  Church choirs at every mile. 
  • An Eggnog Challenge option for any brave racers who decides to down a 4-ounce glass of eggnog at each mile marker 
  • Dinner after the race with some of Louisville’s homeless community 
  • An optional Christmas worship service after dinner.

Awards

Awards will be given for  the 5k overall men’s and women’s winners, the eggnog challenge winner, and the best Christmas running/walking attire- you may just have a use for the winter green and red sweater  complete with tinsel-fringe, lovingly hand-knitted by Aunt Helen, after all.

The Course

The race will take place December 21nd 3:30 pm at the Belle of Louisville, with the post-race dinner with the homeless on the Presbyterian Center Lawn (100 Witherspoon in between Humana and the Yum Center).
