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.
