Run with Los Muertos
Run with Los Muertos is a community festival and running event that continues a centuries-old tradition by uniting community groups, teams, artists, musicians, runners, and attendees from the US, Mexico, and Canada. The event emphasizes health, wellness, art, music, and culture.
Public education programming of workshops and workouts precedes a block party in Old Town Coachella. The block party includes a procession, an art walk, a car show, a 5K run, a vendor village, and three stages of live entertainment. The celebration is free and multi-generational and provides a platform for local talent while attracting visitors to the Eastern Coachella Valley. The event has facilitated cultural exchanges with artisans, musicians, and chefs from Oaxaca, Michoacan, and Mexicali.
Event night is scheduled for November 7, 2026, at Old Town Coachella, 1515 6th Street, Coachella, California. Pre-race packet pick up and the event night schedule are listed as TBD.
A code of conduct governs participant behavior. Key rules include allowing only certified service dogs, prohibiting weapons and outside food or beverages, restricting flags or signs for 5K participants, and banning bicycles, scooters, skateboards, and rollerblades on the race route while permitting children in strollers. Participants must remain within designated course boundaries and those on the course without a bib or permission will be asked to exit. Course records listed include times of 14:45.86 (2025) and 17:55 (2021). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
