Run of the Dead 2024 is a fundraiser for the Center of Music & Performing Arts Southwest (COMPÁS). The mission of COMPÁS is to provide high-quality performing arts training and cultural experiences with an emphasis on youth socio-emotional development. The program preserves the Latinx heritage of Southwest Detroit and celebrates its diversity through the arts.
The USATF-Certified event will celebrate the Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). In commemoration of the annual Día de los Muertos holiday, that honors deceased relatives and loved ones, an oferenda (altar) will be created and displayed. The community is also invited to participate in the holiday by bringing family photos of their ancestors to add to the altar. Participants will celebrate by wearing traditional face-paint, flowers and attire.
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Volunteer for the 2024 Run of the Dead 5k and 10k Race presented by the Southwest Detroit Business Association.
