About the Día de los Muertos 5K
The race is tied to a Día de los Muertos celebration, so the atmosphere leans toward color and costume rather than clock-watching. A best-costume award runs alongside the standard age-group awards, which tells you something about the crowd you will be running with. The course is stroller-friendly, which means smooth pavement and nothing too technical underfoot.
After the finish, the event opens into a free community procession with local vendors, music, and cultural programming. It is open beyond the race field, so the post-race crowd tends to be bigger and livelier than at a typical morning road race.
