About this race

And......we're back! We're thrilled to announce our 7th Annual Gardner Health Services Día de los Muertos Run-Walk, now featuring a more focused 5K route to make your experience even more vibrant and memorable. Join us on Saturday, October 31, 2026 at 8:30am along the beautiful Guadalupe River Trail in San Jose, CA.

This year, we're streamlining our route to just a 5K to create an even more engaging and energetic event that celebrates life, health, those we love eternally, and the incredible spirit of our community. But, our mission is strong and remains to support children and families who need access to medical care, turning every step into hope and healing.

Get ready for a morning filled with music, entertainment, and a health resource fair that promises fun for the whole family. Together, we'll run, walk, and make a difference!
