Their Legacy Runs in You 🕯️
Celebrate life, community, and tradition at the Calaverita Run 5K, a joyful way to honor loved ones during DĂa de los Muertos.
✨ Lace up for this family-friendly event that blends fitness, culture, and remembrance into one unforgettable evening. Run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines in your best calavera-inspired outfit and help fill the course with color and spirit.
✨ Along the route, enjoy beautifully crafted altars, lively music, and face painting. After crossing the finish line, stick around for a festive celebration featuring local vendors and community art. Take a moment to visit our community altar, where you can place photos of your loved ones in a collective display of remembrance and honor.
❤️ What is a "Calaverita"?
A “calaverita” is a tongue-in-cheek, rhyming poem that’s a beloved Mexican tradition during DĂa de los Muertos. Filled with playful jabs, clever wordplay, and a wink at mortality, these verses imagine humorous encounters with the afterlife, all in the spirit of celebrating life. Just like the run itself, calaveritas are full of energy, creativity, and a little bit of mischief.
❤️ Running in Remembrance
Participants will have the opportunity to place a photo of a loved one on their race bib to wear as they run. You're also welcome to write the name of your loved one(s) on the "For Who Do You Run" wall and add a photo on the community altar as a part of this shared remembrance.
✨ The Calaverita Run 5K and Family Walk is more than a race. It’s a shared experience that brings our community together to remember the past while embracing the joy of the present. In San Antonio, we don’t just run, we run with our spirits high, with our ancestors at our side, and with a heart that never forgets.
