Día de los Muertos: 5K Run/Walk

Día de los Muertos: 5K Run/Walk reaches its sixteenth edition in San Antonio, Texas, on October 25, 2026. The event is a single 5K, run or walked, starting at 9:30 a.m. That is a late enough start to get there on the morning without much fuss, and it leaves plenty of time for a full warm-up.

A long-running local 5K tends to be well drilled by its sixteenth year, and the run/walk format means the field will hold everything from racers at the front to walkers at the back. If you are after a time, line up near the front and get the first half mile clean. Preparation is modest: a month of steady running with one faster session a week is plenty for 3.1 miles.
