About the Day of the Dead Half Marathon - San Antonio
The course runs through parkland near Northeast Lakeview College, moving past lakes and through tree cover. The Day of the Dead theme runs deeper than the name: runners are encouraged to come in costume, and a pre-race costume contest, judged on creativity and spirit, kicks things off before the field heads out. The surroundings are quiet and natural for most of the route.
At the finish, there is a rally tent with a DJ, Mexican food and drinks, and a live awards ceremony. Names get called out as runners come in. The post-race atmosphere leans into the Dia de los Muertos celebration, with music and the costumed crowd still milling around.
