A non-profit organization in San Marcos hosted its sixth annual five-k fun run this past weekend. Bobcat Update's Joel Morrison was there and has the story.
Every year since 20-13 the San Marcos Hispanic Cultural Center has celebrated Dia de Los Muertos -- or Day of the Dead -- in a unique way: Its five-k fun run is held to honor the lives of loved ones who have passed away. The celebration includes face painting, costumes and a good time for all. Race co-director Elsie Romano says the event is something fun for kids and doesn't show death in a negative light but in a positive way.

Race participant Anedy Hernandez says he enjoys the fun run because it represents Mexican culture.

Stand up: The event is mostly for fun, but a percentage of the proceeds will go to the San Marcos Hispanic Cultural Center as well as the Johnnie T. Rosales Memorial Scholarship helping to fund a college career for a select group of local high school graduates. For Bobcat Update, Joel Morrison.
