Celebrate life, community, and tradition at the Calaverita Run 5K, a joyful way to honor loved ones for Día de los Muertos.
Lace up for this family-friendly event that blends fitness, culture, and remembrance into one unforgettable evening. Run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines in your best calavera-inspired outfit and help fill the course with color and spirit.
Along the route, enjoy beautifully crafted altars, lively music. After crossing the finish line, stick around for a festive celebration featuring local vendors and community art.
Running in Remembrance
Participants will have the opportunity to run with the photo of a loved one on their race bib, and afterwards place it on the community altar.
The Calaverita Run 5K & Family Walk is more than a race. It’s a shared experience that brings our community together to remember the past while embracing the joy of the present. In San Antonio, we don’t just run—we run with our spirits high, with our ancestors at our side, and with a heart that never forgets.
