Corre con Los Muertos - Run with the Dead

Get ready to lace up for the vibrant third annual Corre con Los Muertos - Run with the Dead, taking place on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at the picturesque Cascades Park in Jackson, MI. This unique 5K run and walk event, organized by Nuestra Comunidad, offers more than just a race; it's a lively celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and the rich traditions of Dia de Los Muertos. Every stride taken supports a vital cause, as all race proceeds are dedicated to funding scholarships and resources for Hispanic students in the Jackson community.

Runners and walkers will enjoy a festive atmosphere as they navigate the course through Cascades Park, with the start and finish line conveniently located at the Cascades Amphitheater. While specific course details on terrain and elevation are available via the race website, participants can anticipate an engaging 5K experience. Typical race day conditions in late October in Jackson usually bring crisp, invigorating air, with highs around 55°F and lows near 36°F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal setting for a spirited autumn run.

Beyond the physical challenge, Corre con Los Muertos fosters a strong sense of community and cultural appreciation. The event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities for the 5K Run or 5K Walk, and even includes a Kids Fun Run. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or looking for a meaningful way to celebrate and contribute to a worthy cause, this race promises an unforgettable experience infused with cultural spirit and community support.
