Dia de Los Muertos 5k

The Dia de Los Muertos 5K is an annual running event held at Baseline Trailhead in Ocala, Florida, celebrating the traditional Mexican holiday honoring deceased loved ones. The race features a festive atmosphere with colorful decorations, music, and themed prizes. Participants receive a fun shirt, a Dia de los Muertos sticker, a sugar skull charm, and a remembrance flag to honor those they remember.

The event includes a 5K race and a chip-timed fun run for children 12 and under. Finishers receive unique ornaments instead of medals, and the course concludes with a fully decorated themed finish chute, perfect for photos. Post-race refreshments and photo opportunities add to the celebratory vibe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
