Day of the Dead Half Marathon - Dallas

The Day of the Dead Half Marathon - Dallas is scheduled for Sunday, October 11, 2026, at Fair Oaks Park in Dallas, TX. The event is organized by Bigfoot Running Company and is presented as a park-based course with mixed surfaces. Aid stations will provide water on the course. Packet pickup is offered 1.5 hours before the event start. A rally tent at the finish area will host a post-race celebration with live music, snacks, and awards. A costume contest is held before the race, judged on creativity and authenticity, with a prize for the best costume. The event proceeds in all weather.

Standard timing and awards: the 5K, Quarter Marathon, and Half Marathon are chip timed and include overall trophies and age-group awards. The Kids Dash and 1 Mile events are not chip timed. Volunteer options include a "Volunteer then Run" track that provides a chip-timed bib, tee, and finisher medal, and full-race volunteer roles that offer a race shirt, souvenir medal (subject to availability), VIP race access, and a choice of a free future race entry or a $20 prepaid digital gift card.
