Ugly Sweater race presented by Tito's Handmade Vodka
This holiday-themed running event takes place at Backyard Brewery and Kitchen on South Mammoth Road in Manchester, New Hampshire, on December 19, 2026. Registration can include an official Tito's ugly sweater (first 50 registrants guaranteed, then 50 raffled to registrants on Wednesday 10/28), a custom finisher's medal, a post-race beverage ticket with a hot cocoa bar, and free finisher photos. Organizers removed the free race t-shirt from standard registration; shirts are available as an add-on for $10.
The event donates 100 percent of race proceeds to three local animal rescue groups: the Humane Society of Greater Nashua, the New Hampshire SPCA, and the Monadnock Humane Society. To date fundraising totals shown for the event are $1,330.29. Sponsors listed for the event include Tito's, Martignetti, and Backyard Brewery.
This is a 21 plus event; participants under age 21 are not allowed on course. The event is scheduled to run regardless of New England weather conditions. Pre-race and race-day bib pick-up are held at Backyard Brewery. Race registration fees include items such as the finisher medal, a post-race Tito's beverage, and free race photos.
