Running (or prancing) a 5K race in an ugly sweater? Sounds itchy. The Ugly Sweater Run raced through Denver Saturday, and brought with it inflatables, music, photo stations and games to keep running spirits bright. Awards were given for the ugliest sweater, pet attire, facial hair and more. After the race, four bars held post-race parties.
