Would your business like to be a SPONSOR for The Costume Run?

What is The Costume Run?

The Costume Run is a local fundraiser 5K and 1 mile run/walk located at the beautiful Buffalo Park. All proceeds raised at The Costume Run go to support local and global non-profits. This isn't just any fun run, it's a Halloween themed fun run, which means participants are encouraged to wear a costume!

What organizations/programs will the proceeds be supporting?

All sponsor donations and registration payments will be donated to the following 6 organizations:

Speak Up for the Poor - Transforming the world by educating and empowering girls in poverty. Serving more than 1,450 girls in 35 Bangladesh villages and urban areas, helping them stay in school and out of child marriage and brothels. (speakupforthepoor.org)

Flagstaff Family Food Center - Providing hunger relief and children’s literacy programs to Flagstaff families. (hotfood.org)

Life Ansanm - Partnering with the community of Cap Rouge, Haiti in the needs of education, job creation, community development, church, and family care. (lifeansanm.org)

Beloved Arise - Celebrating and empowering LGBTQIA+ youth of faith. (belovedarise.org)

Immigrant Family Food Share - Providing food to local undocumented families in need in Northern AZ.

Northern Arizona Interfaith Council - Building leadership for civic participation across lines of race, class, age, and religion and organizing for issues that advance the common good. (naicl.org)

Why a fundraiser for these non-profit organizations?

These are organizations that we believe are doing amazing work in our city and around the world. 

Since the hit of the pandemic, The Commons has struggled to have the financial resources to maintain donations to these programs in the amounts we would like. Our hope is that this event allows us to support these organizations and the great work they do.

Sunday, October 29th from 10am-Noon. Located at Buffalo Park, 2400 N Gemini Rd, Flagstaff, AZ 86004

5k & 1 mile run/walk options. Participation is $25 for ages 13 to adults, and $10 for ages 12 and under.
