Dia De Los Miles 5K, Fun Run & Mercado
Dia De Los Miles is a community running event set in District 56 in Elk Grove. The event program includes a timed 5K and several youth fun runs, and it features a mercado with local Latino artists selling textiles, decorative plates, beaded jewelry, and hand-tooled leather goods. Strollers and well-behaved dogs are allowed on the course. Post-race snacks are provided for participants.
Distances offered:
- 5K timed race
- 1 mile run
- 1/2 mile kids fun run
- 1/4 mile kids fun run
All 5K participants receive a super-soft tri-blend event T-shirt in unisex, women, or youth sizing and a custom medal. Kids in the 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile runs also receive medals. The event names the Latino Center of Art and Culture as its beneficiary; donations support that organization’s mission to foster artistic, economic, and cultural development for the Sacramento region’s Latinx community through exhibitions, programs, and services.
The event is organized by Fleet Feet Sacramento Event Management and includes a mercado on race morning where attendees can browse stalls offering handmade and artistic goods. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
