Second Annual Cloudcroft Ugly Sweater

5K & 1 Mile Walk

Let’s get moving this Christmas Season!

We had such a good time last year, we decided to run it back again in 2026.

The Cloudcroft Ugly Sweater Run is a great way to kick off the holiday season, open to all runners and walkers. We welcome you to lace up your shoes in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, on December 5th at 4:30 PM, and stick around after for the annual Christmas tree lighting downtown Cloudcroft.

Your 5K & 1-mile walk registration includes a limited number of SWAG items, and the event cutoff is set for only 100 participants.

So Don't DELAY!!

Custom event SWAG for the 5K includes an Ugly Sweater finisher's medal, Christmas race bib, and a custom long-sleeve shirt if you register by the shirt deadline, November 23rd.
