DAY OF THE DEAD CELEBRATION RUN
Utah’s favorite party run! This year we are celebrating Dia De Los Muertos in Provo! Come join the party at The Haunted Half this October 2020. Dia de Los Muertos attire strongly encouraged. Come dressed in your finest Calaca apparel. With the option to run in the half marathon, 5K, or Kids Run, this course is great for all abilities! We hope to highlight many aspects of this special celebration as we get closer and closer to race day so that we all can truly understand Dia De Los Muertos a little more.
Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) is a two day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (Offerings) to honor their departed family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods, and join in on the celebrations! Day of the Dead is a rare holiday for celebrating death and life. It is unlike any holiday where mourning is exchanged for celebration. Come celebrate with us this October! REGISTER
Due to current health concerns, we have created a virtual option for those that still want to be involved virtually with the Day of the Dead Celebration Run at The Haunted Half. You can run virtually from your own home or neighborhood block. Check out our Virtual Haunted Run Option >
