La Carrera de los Muertos

La Carrera de los Muertos—or “Race of the Dead”—is a fundraising event that originated in Pilsen, Chicago, in 2007. With a course weaving through Pilsen, runners and walkers convene to celebrate Día de los Muertos, complete with costumes, entertainment and food. The race's proceeds benefit UNO, a nonprofit that supports girls' access to mentorship, mental health, leadership and physical wellbeing.
