DAY OF THE DEAD 5K
The Day of the Dead 5K is a race celebrating tradition, community, and diversity. This event is benefiting the Brentwood Boys and Girls Club of Raleigh.
This is a kids and family friendly event, open to participants of all levels
and ages. While there will be prizes for top male and female runners, we'd
love for you walk the 5k, as well. Strollers are welcome, but unfortunately
pets are not allowed. Whichever way you choose to take on the course, just
have fun!
We will be celebrating the festive Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. In honor of holiday traditions, everyone will be dressing up in their best calavera costumes and we encourage you to dress up, too. The top three costumes win a prize! There will also be other traditional activities such as altars and offerings to the deceased.
Whole Foods will be providing refreshments and snacks, and Counter Culture Coffee will be serving their great coffee all morning. Other post-race activities include a Free 100 Yard Kid's Fun Run, a DJ and mariachis, and an award ceremony
with great prizes for race finalists.
We hope you'll join us for this event as we realize that regardless of our background, we are all part of the same community.
The Brentwood Boys & Girls Clubs opened its doors in 2006 as a result of the organization's Latino Outreach Initiative.
The Club incorporates Hispanic culture in its daily operations by sharing information in both English and Spanish, celebrating Latin American holidays, and emphasizing a strong, family focus by offering bi-lingual/bi-cultural services for Club members' families.
