Tis the Season to don your ugly sweater and run with us! The 2.1 mile Ugly Sweater Fun Run and Walk starts and finishes at Riverfront Park in Cottonwood, AZ. The course has something for everyone and takes participants on a 2-mile out and back route to the Dead Horse State Park entrance. This timed event is perfect for the whole family and is stroller-friendly, so bring the kids! Of course, sweaters and holiday cheer are strongly encouraged! We'll be awarding prizes to the most festive, so shop now and show us your best!

Make a day of it in Cottonwood by watching the community’s 67th Annual Christmas Parade that starts before the race at 11am. All levels and abilities are welcome and every finisher will receive a unique holiday ornament medal.  After your run, stick around and cheer on participants, visit with Santa or get lunch at one of the many local Cottonwood restaurants in the area!
