About

Hey there runners and fun-seekers! You're invited to the electric "Day of the Dead Half Marathon: Texas Parks Edition", where every stride honors life and ancestral memories. As dawn breaks, soak in the majesty of Texas parks, with a route lined by marigolds and the energy of nature at its finest.
Charging from the start with faces painted and costumes ablaze, runners celebrate Dia de los Muertos in an electrifying costume contest before pounding the pavement. Crossing the finish line isn't just the end—it's an explosion of joy with live tunes, Mexican treats, and high-fives all round in a post-race fiesta.
The heartbeat of our event? You. Every pace, every race, from the Kids Dash to the half marathon, is about your experience—thrilling, secure, and simply unforgettable. Rally your tribe with youth-based pricing and group discounts, dress to impress, and let’s run, rejoice, and remember together this October. Lace up. Your running fiesta awaits!
