Described as “the most festive fun run of the year” by organizers, the Medford Ugly Sweater 5k attracted hundreds of runners on a chilly morning Saturday. Sponsored by West Orthodontics, 100 percent of the proceeds from entrants’ registration went to children at the Jackson County Foster Parent Association. The course started at the RCC-SOU Higher Education Center in downtown Medford, then led runners along Siskiyou Boulevard up to Highland Drive and then back downtown along the Bear Creek Greenway to the finish line at the higher ed building.
