You know I don't run. My knees and back would hate me more than they already do. But what I do really well is support those who do run. Let's face it... I just like yelling "PHILLLLLLLL" at the top of my lungs. If you don't run or if you have kiddies and/or doggies, this is the race for you! There was a bouncy castle that I threatened to jump into an launch some kids into orbit, there were puppers in cute costumes to pet, and for the adults there was spiked hot chocolate or coffee. The "Best" competition was fun. There were some truly interesting hand made sweaters. "Tinsel Tits" was robbed! Robbed I say! The location was changed this year so it was a bit out of the way. And don't trust Google Maps. You don't have to take two buses and a train. Just one bus and a train. The Aviator Sports Complex at Floyd Bennett Field, where the race was held, is pretty awesome. If you have kids and live in the area, it's great place to play in the hockey pee-wee teams. They were so tiny and cute! Unlike some of the other cities holding Ugly Sweater Runs, the weather was gorgeous. Great day, great people, great race. read more
