The Harvard Running Club is hosting the first ever Dia de Los Muertos 5K in collaboration with the Harvard Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Our goal is to promote personal health and wellness, community engagement, and economic development while sharing our cultural traditions. Participants of all age levels are welcome to join as we encourage connection, cultural appreciation, and community pride. We welcome you to bring a picture of your loved ones who have passed on, to place on the altar next to the finish line as you run in their honor. There will be a free Dia de Los Muertos event held downtown for racers, family, and friends to enjoy after the race at 1PM.
