About the Day of the Dead Race
This race runs through the streets of Talent and is built around a Latin cultural celebration. Music, dancing, and art are part of the course experience, not just the finish area. Expect a morning that feels more like a street festival that happens to have a race bib attached to it.

Day of the Dead Race 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Day of the Dead Race has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
