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.

Common Questions About the Day of the Dead Race

Will I finish last at the Day of the Dead Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 33:14, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:40, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Day of the Dead Race a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (161 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Day of the Dead Race?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:26 while the median finisher took 33:14. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
