Los Muertos 5k celebrates Day of the Dead with a vibrant 5k run or walk.
FULL DESCRIPTION

Los Muertos 5k celebrates Day of the Dead with a vibrant 5k run or walk that takes place in Downtown Los Angeles. Thousands of families and friends gather together in a fun atmosphere to remember loved ones that have passed, in this rich cultural tradition.  

Festivities and traditions include face painting to resemble skulls, decorating altars with bright orange marigold flowers, candles, photos, and other memorabilia. There will also be an official Community Altar for participants to decorate, a pre-start purification ceremony with traditional Aztec dancers and a post-race festival, complete with mariachi bands, folkloric dance groups and stilt walkers honoring art, music, and community. 

The race starts on Main Street, in El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, the oldest section of Los Angeles, and home to Olvera Street. The course runs through lower Chinatown and past the recently upgraded  Los Angeles State Historic Park. The top three runners of their genders will be awarded a unique hand-painted skull trophy.
