2021 VIRTUAL
Dia de los Muertos Run
Please join us on our 4th annual 5k, 10k and Kids Run Scholarship Fundraiser
It is officially a VIRTUAL race!. Sign up for the virtual race and Run anywhere!
What is a Virtual Race? Due to Covid-19 and a need for social distancing, we are providing the Dia de los Muertos vibe while still respecting your space. Virtual runs are self timed using your personal running device or the ASICSrunkeeper app. You run your own 5k, 10k, kids 1 mile, or half marathon route and record your time. We will provide you with a recommended Dia de Muertos playlist and will receive a T-shirt designed by renowned artist Saul Martinez and you get a commemorative 2021 bib as a memento.
How will I know what to do on race day? DDLMrun (Dia de los Muertos) organizers will be sending emails as the race nears about Covid-19 updates, race details, parking, how virtual-race runners will track their own time, and other details. Please follow us on IG and fb @ddlmrun for info and updates. On the day of your run, please post photos on Instagram with the hashtag #ddlmrun
A Race to Remember: DDLMrun is a way to pay tribute to those who are no longer with us. You honor yourself and others by prolonging your life as physical activity has proven to do. Please help us celebrate those you are running for by submitting their name during registration (at no extra cost). Their name will be incoorporated into the candle light vigil design you see below. Shirt is not included with registration price.
Scholarship: DDLMrun uses all proceeds to generate large sum scholarships for marginalized youth in Benton - Franklin Counties in rural WA state. As of 2021, we have generated over $20,000 for our youth!
Pick up your shirt in the TriCities area in Washington state on the last week of October or get it mailed to your location out of town. Please provide your mailing address when registering.
Back of Shirt Detail (make sure you include the name of a passed love one in the registration) Deadline Oct 7th, 11:59pm
This Year's Bib Design
Dress up: For the race, all participants are encouraged to dress, create and run with props, and run with faces painted in Dia de los Muertos fashion. This is the all of the fun: We'd love to see it so please photograph your costume and send post a photo on Instagram with hashtag #DDLMrun
It's a Fundraiser: Dia de los Muertos 5k/10k run is a scholarship fundraiser, proceeds will assist disadvantaged youth pursuing higher education in the state of WA. This race invites all participants to come together and promote good health while acting as the proverbial "village to raise a child". Legal residence is not a requirement to be considered for the scholarship award.
Last year's recipients: Kevin Galicia $2000 and Melanie Luna $5000 (not in picture)
How does one respect/honor our deceased: When you run, you are invited to do so in memory of a passed loved one. It is through your health and wellbeing that you can honor the life and death of a friend or family member. Traditionally, you are encouraged of creating a small space in your own home with candles, a photo of your loved one, and an assortment of items they once loved. We'd love to see it so please photograph it and send post a photo on Instagram with hashtag#DDLMrun
