About the event

Join us for the annual La Llorona "Ditch Witch" Run: 10K, 5K, and Kids K on October 13, 2024. This unique event takes place in the heart of the Bosque along the ditches and canals of the North Valley. La Llorona, or "The Weeping Woman," is a legendary ghost in Hispanic American and New Mexico folklore. As per tradition, La Llorona is the ghost of a woman who cries while searching for her lost children by the river and ditch banks. Don't be surprised if you spot La Llorona during the run! All participants will receive an event t-shirt and finisher medal. Refreshments will be provided at the finish line.

Well-stocked finish table
Water and Powerade stations along the course
Professional timing using a disposable bib tag.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY:

Weather forecasts will be monitored before the event paying particular attention to the possibility of heavy rain, thunder and lightning, high winds, and extreme temperatures. If necessary, athletes will be made aware of these predictions on the RunFit website: www.irunfit.org so that participants can properly prepare for severe weather during the race and possible course alterations. Severe weather updates will also be sent to participants via email as necessary. The Race Director will monitor the weather and decide if any action will modify the race. Possible changes include altering the start time for the race or, in extreme situations, cancellation of the event. Please listen closely to all public address announcements at the race's starting line. Visible lightning will cause the race to be postponed for a minimum of 15 minutes. Additional sightings will continue to delay the race in 15-minute increments. If extreme heat is predicted, the athletes will be provided extra water before, during, and after. The medical team will be alerted that athletes may require additional medical attention during and after the event due to the high temperatures.
