Race Highlight
    
The Day of the Dead 5k was originally created as an opportunity to do something fun while capturing an audience to educate about the Day of the Dead holiday. The idea of gathering on a fall Saturday morning, painting our faces, and going for a run while supporting the good folks of the Boys and Girls club seemed like a pretty good one.

This year we have a goal to sponsor more than a 100 kids to run the race through our “Sponsor a Little Runner” program where $35 dollars can contribute to pay a member’s entry fee. During the ten years we have had over 6,000 runners and have been able to contribute over $170K to the Boys & Girls Club.

Register now for the 2023 Day of the Dead 5K on Saturday, October 28th, 2023. Share with your friends, dress up and join us for an amazing fun time!
