Event organizer Tina Peña, CEO/President of Mita’s Foundation said, “As a community, we are proud to host this Día de los Muertos 5K in Tulsa. We are the first, original and only locally managed Day of the Dead race. This event is not only about running, but also about honoring culture, celebrating life and bringing people together for a powerful cause. It is also a good practice for your Tulsa Run.”
Participants in the 5K will be contributing to the important work of Mita’s Foundation in Peru. Your involvement will help us continue our mission to provide charitable relief and improve the quality of life for the impoverished and underprivileged children and their families through initiatives and programs (clinic, schools, soup kitchen, pre-fab homes, humanitarian aid, girls’ detention/rehabilitation center and much more).
