Day of the Dead (Legs)
The Day of the Dead (Legs) is a challenging endurance running event held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, featuring the grueling Whitewash climb. Participants tackle a 10-hour mountain repeat challenge on Saturday, running up and down a steep, technical 0.5-mile trail with 500 feet of elevation gain per lap. On Sunday, a 5-hour "victory lap" on the same terrain offers an additional test of endurance.
The event includes finisher awards, with special recognition for those who climb the most. The course is flagged but allows route choice on existing trails. Support includes aid stations, food, and a welcoming basecamp for crews.
This event emphasizes personal challenge and community spirit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
