Running in Remembrance
Participants will have the opportunity to run with the photo of a loved one on their race bib, and afterwards place it on the community altar.
The Calaverita Run 5K & Family Walk is more than a race. It’s a shared experience that brings our community together to remember the past while embracing the joy of the present. In San Antonio, we don’t just run—we run with our spirits high, with our ancestors at our side, and with a heart that never forgets.
