Death by 5k Albuquerque

Death by 5k Albuquerque is a unique running event scheduled for June 14-15, 2025, at Balloon Fiesta Park. This 24-hour challenge requires participants to complete ten 5k runs, starting every 2.5 hours. The event tests both mental and physical endurance, as runners must manage fatigue and sleep deprivation while navigating the course, which includes running in the dark.

Participants can rest between runs in their cars or set up tents nearby. The event offers food, snacks, and hydration throughout, along with race swag and awards for finishers. Registration is limited, making it a sought-after challenge in the running community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
