Day of the Dead Half Marathon - Waco

The Day of the Dead Half Marathon: Texas Parks Edition is an October road race in Dallas, Texas, offering 1 mile, 5K, 10K, and 13.1-mile distances. The half marathon begins at 8 a.m., and the event is part of a Day of the Dead themed race series, not just a standard city run. The course starts in a decorated park and proceeds through Texas parkland, featuring lakes, trees, and green spaces. Aid stations will offer hydration and energy gels, and the finish line leads to a rally-tent gathering with live music, Mexican food, and drinks for participants.
