The Darryl Dunn Cinco de Mayo 5K Run and Walk will take place on Sunday, May 1st at 9:00 AM prior to the Cinco de Mayo at the Rose Bowl family festival on the field. The 5K, with a 1K option for those who want to participate in a shorter distance, will be the healthy start of what promises to be a fun-filled day with access to resources, information and reconnecting on the field.
The Darryl Dunn Cinco de Mayo 5K Run and Walk is affectionally named after the Rose Bowl Stadium’s, CEO/General Manager, Darryl Dunn who is retiring June 30th, after 27 years with the Stadium. Darryl is an avid walker who is often seen around the recreational loop just outside the gates of America’s Stadium. We invite you to join us for a fun run, brisk or leisure walk.
“During one of these walks around the stadium, we discussed the topic of bringing back Pasadena’s Cinco de Mayo celebration, after more than a decade of its absence. The idea got in Darryl’s head of making this return a reality and hosting the event inside on the iconic field of the world-famous Rose Bowl.” Recalls Ramon Miramontes, the co-executive producer of the event with Darryl Dunn.
