Día de los Muertos Not-So-Fun Run
This community event at Retama Park in Selma, Texas takes place on October 31, 2026 and centers on a timed main run described as a 5K along a flat course. The event is presented with a festive Día de los Muertos theme and encourages costume friendly attire. Organizers describe a family oriented atmosphere that includes participant T shirts and finisher medals for race participants, and a post-race pancake breakfast provided by the Magnolia Pancake Haus. Proceeds support the Haus Family Foundation and benefit GRASP (Greater Randolph Area Services Program), which aids people facing poverty, food and shelter insecurity, and isolated seniors.
A separate kids fun run is open to children aged 8 and under and takes place on the Retama Park grounds. The kids event specifies age group breakdowns, no shirts for the kids run, and that all finishers receive a ribbon and a goodie bag. Registration fees listed in the event details are $40 for the main run and $10 for the kids run. The event description emphasizes community giving and local charitable support as primary outcomes of the race and associated activities.
