Día de los Muertos Endurance Run
The Día de los Muertos Endurance Run is a multi-day endurance event held at South Beach State Park in Newport, OR, just south of the Yaquina Bay Bridge. The event incorporates elements of the Día de los Muertos tradition, including a performance by Huehca Omeyocan featuring traditional Mexican music and dance on the Friday program before the 48-hour race.
Participants register for a fixed-duration event and aim to complete as many loops as possible within their chosen time. Laps are recorded by a chip on the bib each time a runner crosses the timing mat, and large screens display lap counts in real time.
Available race options include:
- 48-hour solo and 48-hour team relay
- 24-hour solo and 24-hour team relay
- 12-hour solo
- 6-hour solo
The course is mostly flat trail with a few paved sections. The start/finish area includes a large aid station stocked with food, drinks, and essentials, a warming tent, a drop bag location, and space for personal tents. Runners may access their vehicles during the event and commonly use them as personal aid stations or for naps.
Event items and recognitions include a race T-shirt included with registration, a finisher medal for completing 26.2+ miles (11 loops), 50- and 100-mile belt buckles, post-race snacks, and professional race photos. Volunteer perks list a commemorative T-shirt and a free meal. Note the T-shirt deadline listed as October 23, 2024. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
