The Day of the Dead 5K and 10K is a race to celebrate tradition, unity, and community. This holiday is not one that focuses on death, but rather a celebration of life. Honor the tradition with a fun morning of fitness and friend at Denver’s City Park. Runners and walkers will complete a flat and fast 5K course through the park, then enjoy a finisher’s medal, a vendor village, food and drinks, a themed shirt and awards for the top runners. 10K runners will complete the course two times.
Runners Roost will help the winners of each race celebrate with a new pair of shoes and they are also giving $20, $15, and $10 gift certificates to first, second, and third place age group winners in every race. A prerace packet pickup will be held at Runners Roost in Denver on Colorado Boulevard. Runners can also register for the race at the packet pickup.
