It's time again for the annual H Street Ugly Sweater Run with the H Street Runners, Argonaut Running Club, and the Big Board Runners. Runners are invited to wear their most tacky festive sweaters or other holiday attire for a short fun run (under two miles) down H Street NE. This year the group is supporting two charities. The organizers are collecting running shoes for Back on My Feet (BOMF), a charity that "uses the power of running to fuel economic stability for those experiencing homelessness." If you have a collection of racing medals please consider bringing one or two as a donation to Medals for Mettle, a nonprofit founded by marathoners, which gives race medals to honor and uplift folks – especially children struggling with serious illness or disease. Medals from all races (any distance) will be accepted and will be presented to very deserving people who will really love them. So consider donating a race medal – or as many of you can! Donations will be collected prior to the run.
Runners should meet outside Duffy's (1016 H St. NE) at 6:30pm. The group will return to Duffy's post-run (about 7pm) for food and drinks in the new covered tent area in the back (so any rain showers won't spoil the fun).
