About the race

Candles and Calaca's 5K Fun Run/Walk takes place in East Lansing, Michigan, on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at Michigan State University’s Hubbard/Akers Courtyard (964 Hubbard Rd). The 5K event, themed Día de Los Muertos, is organized by International Engagement Volunteers (IEV) in collaboration with the International Engagement in Mexico (IEM) program. It offers in-person divisions for Students and General Public, with separate fees, and a Virtual Race option.

Proceeds support IEV service-learning projects for MSU students. Participants remember loved ones in a festive community atmosphere; students check in with a valid Student ID; early registration guarantees a t-shirt, and virtual participants can receive a mailed t-shirt and medal.
