Día de Muertos 5K - Immokalee, FL

Dia de Muertos 5K is held in Immokalee, Florida on October 24, 2026. Two distances go off together at 8:00 a.m.: the 5K (3.1 miles) and a 1-mile event, so a group can split up by distance and still finish around the same time.

Two options at one start time make this an easy race to enter with other people — the mile for kids or anyone new to running, the 5K for those who want a real effort. For the 5K, do your warm-up before you line up rather than treating the first mile as one, because at this distance you are at full output within the first few minutes. Runners preparing specifically for the distance do well with four to six weeks of easy mileage plus one weekly session of mile repeats at goal pace.
