Ditch Witch La Llorona Run

The Ditch Witch La Llorona Run is a themed running event that takes place along cottonwood-lined trails in Albuquerque's Bosque and is inspired by the La Llorona legend. The event offers multiple distance options and an evening Twilight 5K that runs as daylight fades through the Bosque.

Distances include:

  • 10K
  • 5K Run/Walk
  • Kids K
  • La Llorona Twilight 5K at dusk

Event services and features listed for participants include an event t-shirt, a finisher medal, well-stocked finish tables, water and Powerade stations along the course, and refreshments at the finish area. Professional timing is provided using a disposable bib tag, and free photo downloads are available after the event. Awards are given by age group and overall. A costume contest and La Llorona storytelling are part of the post-race activities.

There is an option called the La Llorona Double Dare Challenge that allows participants already registered for the 10K or 5K to add the Twilight 5K for an additional fee; this addition receives a separate bib and official timing for both races. Packet pickup and late registration are handled in advance at a local Fleet Feet Sports location, with an on-site packet pickup option for out of town participants.
