Dia de los Muertos Run/Walk

Dia de los Muertos Run/Walk is held at Forest Home Cemetery & Arboretum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The event offers a 5K Run/Walk, a 2-mile Walk, and a Kiddos 1K, with the 5K chip-timed and the 2-mile walk not timed. Runners traverse the historic cemetery’s rolling hills, Victorian monuments, and towering trees across 189 acres.

The atmosphere blends running with Day of the Dead traditions: traditional attire is encouraged and face painting is available before the race. After crossing the finish, participants can join a Dia de los Muertos Festival featuring food trucks, local vendors, altars, music, and dancing. Awards go to top finishers in age groups, and shirts are guaranteed for early registrants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
