The Ugly Sweater 5k Race/walk

Join us on Saturday, November 1, 2025, in Manitowoc for The Ugly Sweater 5K Race/Walk, a vibrant and festive event along the scenic Marniers Trail by Lake Michigan. Embrace the holiday spirit by donning your ugliest sweater and supporting the Autism Society of the Lakeshore. Enjoy early check-in on Friday, October 31, at The Inn on Maritime Bay, complete with race packet pickup and a chance to secure a long sleeve t-shirt. The chip-timed race begins at 7:45 AM on race day, followed by post-race activities including raffles, silent auctions, a delicious lunch, and fun kids' activities like face painting and ugly stocking decorating. Gather your friends and family, form a team for discounts, and join us for a day of community, inclusivity, and holiday cheer. Don't miss this opportunity to create new traditions and give back while celebrating the season.
