Death by 5K Albuquerque

The Death by 5k challenge from RunStrong Events is a grueling 24-hour race where participants must complete ten 5k runs, each starting 2.5 hours apart. Runners will face physical and mental challenges, including fatigue and sleep deprivation, especially while navigating in darkness with headlamps or flashlights. The course features paved roads and multi-use paths in a scenic park. Between runs, participants can rest in their vehicles or set up tents in a designated grassy area. Fuel and snacks are provided throughout the event, ensuring entrants have the energy needed to tackle each 5k. Finishers will receive a unique coffin award and a participant shirt, celebrating their endurance in this rapidly popularizing challenge across various states.
