Spooky Dam is a Halloween-season running series at Hansen Dam in Los Angeles, offering 5k, 10k, 15k, and half marathon distances.

The Las Calaveritas 10 Miler is a road race in Los Angeles, located at Hansen Dam and scheduled near Día de los Muertos. Participants can choose from three distances: a 10-mile race, a 5-mile race, and a 5K run/walk. All races begin in the morning; the 10-mile event has a three-hour start window, while the 5-mile and 5K have two-hour windows. The race combines the Day of the Dead celebration with distance running, accommodating both competitive runners and those walking in remembrance. The estimated 500 to 1,000 participants position it as a mid-sized local event. While the 10 Miler is the main event, the 5 Miler and 5K offer accessibility to newer runners, walkers, and groups at the Hansen Dam course.
