About this race

Join us on Saturday, October 31, 2026 for the 14th Annual Day of the Dead 5K & Street Festival in downtown Raleigh—a vibrant celebration of culture and community benefiting the Fox Road Boys & Girls Club. The morning begins with a scenic 5K starting at Centro Mexican Restaurant and winding through historic Oakwood Cemetery, followed by a lively post-race celebration. The fun continues with a free street festival on Wilmington Street featuring local vendors, food, music, traditional dancers, family activities, Día de los Muertos altars, and a crowd-favorite costume contest. Whether you’re running or just coming to enjoy the festivities, this one-of-a-kind Raleigh tradition has something for everyone.
