The Ugly Sweater Run

Mark & Nick ran in a 5K Ugly Sweater Run at Riverside Park tonight.  It was their first ever competitive run.  The race course went through Riverside Park which is the site of the annual Rotary Light display for Christmas.  Nick took first place for his age group!  Way to go Nick!
