Day of the Dead Half Marathon - Dallas
The Day of the Dead Half Marathon at Fair Oaks Park in Dallas, TX, includes a range of in-person and virtual running options on 10/10/2026. The event features multiple distances and a pre-race costume contest judged for creativity and authenticity, with a prize awarded before the race.
Aid stations are placed along the course to provide water and on-course assistance. The course uses mixed surfaces and may include paved trails, crushed granite, and dirt paths. Packet pickup is offered beginning 1.5 hours before the event. A post-race rally tent hosts live music and serves Mexican food and drinks for finishers.
Timing and awards vary by distance. The 5K, Quarter Marathon, and Half Marathon use chip timing and feature overall trophies for male and female winners plus masters recognition and standard age-group award pins. Medals and participant shirts are provided; shirts are guaranteed for registrations at least 10 days before the event. There are also youth pricing notes and group referral or group discount options described by the organizer.
Volunteer options include a Volunteer then Run choice that combines a volunteer shift with participation in the 5K, and a Full Race Volunteer role that does not include running but offers a race shirt, souvenir medal subject to availability, VIP access, and a choice of a future race entry or a $20 prepaid digital gift card.
Bigfoot Running Company events proceed rain or shine and follow a no-refund policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
