Savor the Stride

Each spring, both serious runners and casual fun‑seekers head to Cottonwood for the always exciting Vintage Run. Choose from four distinct courses designed to showcase the area’s natural beauty and historic allure.

The half marathon follows a scenic route that leads to Sycamore Canyon Road, up to Tuzigoot National Monument, before looping back. The 10K delivers a course that combines pavement and packed dirt with a section through Dead Horse Ranch State Park. The “Half-Corked” 5K, perfect for social runners 21 years old and above, is an untimed route with a celebratory wine toast at the finish line. Finally, the 2-mile run is a flat, family-friendly option ideal for walkers, kids, and first-timers.
