Join us for the second edition of Death by 5k Albuquerque taking place at Balloon Fiesta Park on June 14-15.
RunStrong Event's signature 24 hour challenge, Death by 5k requires participants to run ten 5ks, starting each 5k 2.5 hours apart. The first 5k starts at 8 am, and subsequent 5ks start at 1030, 1, 330, 6, 830, 11, 130, 4, and 630 am. Participants need to be present at the start of each 5k, and have that 5k finished prior to the start of the subsequent 5k. This challenge is designed to test participants mentally and physically with physical fatigue, sleep deprivation, and running in the dark. (Headlamps, hand lights, or some other form of illumination will be required)
In between each 5k, participants will be able to sleep in their cars, or to put up tents in the grass field adjacent to the pavilions and the race hq tent. There is plenty of space for pop up or camping tents.
The 5k route will be on paved roads/multi use paths in and adjacent to the park.
Prepared food will be provided at 830 am, 130 pm, 9 pm and 430 am. Snacks will be provided throughout the entirety of the event, along with water and Gatorade.
Participants will receive an event shirt and other cool race swag. Finishers will receive one of our coveted coffin awards and the pride that comes with surviving.
Registration will be limited initially to 175 participants. After that, a waitlist will be enabled and we will open spots if/when they become available or if we decide to expand the field.
Death by 5k is one of the fastest growing events in the US, and takes place in Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama and even more locations coming in 2024/2025
