About the Event

Dive into the vibrant spirit of Dia de los Muertos on October 24, 2026, as Runners Unidos presents its annual Dia De Los Muertos-5K Night Run. This illuminated evening race weaves through the heart of a culturally rich neighborhood, where runners are immersed in an atmosphere filled with colorful papel picado and flickering candlelight altars dedicated to loved ones who have passed on.
As you lace up your shoes at sunset, prepare for a unique running experience that combines fitness with cultural reverence. The 5K course is designed to highlight local landmarks steeped in tradition, including the historic Calavera Park and its stunning array of traditional sugar skulls and marigold displays. Participants will also pass by community murals depicting scenes from this cherished Mexican holiday.
The route itself offers a gentle terrain that challenges runners with subtle elevation changes while keeping the focus on the mesmerizing sights along the way. After crossing the finish line, join fellow participants at Taco y Vino for food, drinks, and live music celebrating life and remembrance in true Dia de los Muertos style.
Runners Unidos invites all to come dressed in festive attire or traditional Day of the Dead costumes to fully embrace this special night's significance. This race is more than just a run; it’s an opportunity to honor loved ones while connecting with your community in a meaningful way.
