The race takes place at Forest Home, a historic cemetery with an arboretum on the grounds. Running through a working cemetery gives the course a genuinely different feel, quiet and shaded, with old trees and older stones alongside the path. The Día de los Muertos timing makes the setting feel fitting rather than odd.

Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Dia de los Muertos Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.01 Miles field finished slower than 33:52, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:48, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 425 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.01 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 3.01 Miles winner ran 16:45 while the median finisher took 33:52. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
