Get ready for the 13th annual Day of the Dead 5k!

Centro will continue to support to ensure this event is a success. As always we have a goal to sponsor more than 100 kids from the Club to run the race through the “Sponsor a little runner” program where $35 dollars can contribute to pay a member’s entry fee.

While the event is mainly a 5k, there are several other events and displays like the 2 traditional altars, that give people an opportunity to learn and participate in the Celebration of the Day of Dead. Over these past eleven years the 5k has strengthen the community by collaborating with people from around town, it has also provided hundreds of children from the Boys & Girls Club an opportunity to train and participate in the run and most importantly the event has raised over $175K in donations to the Brentwood Boys & Girls Club. The altar at the Cemetery has grown year after year and the Oakwood Cemetery is a proud sponsor of it.

The race will start at 9:00am in front of Centro Mexican Restaurant and as usual the course goes through Oakwood Cemetery and loops back to Wilmington St. We will have one altar during the event on Wilmington Street where people will be able to do offerings of flowers and written messages in memory of their loved ones that have passed away.

share with your friends, dress up and join us for an amazing fun time.
