zombie 5k in support of Special Olympics

Individuals can participate as either runners or zombies. Each runner will start off with a belt and three flags. These flags represent runner lifelines. Zombies hidden throughout the course will be attempting to take their lifelines one at a time. If a runner finishes the race with at least one flag, they’ve survived, but if zombies have taken all of a runner’s flags, the runner can still complete the race, but they will not be eligible for awards.

ALL AGES WELCOME!

 Runners can sign up as individuals or as teams. Running races not your thing? Be a zombie! Each zombie will be transformed in our "Mob Tent" the day of the event from 7:30am-9am.Every volunteer will receive access to the course and other race day festivities, an official rUNdead day t-shirt, and the thrill of running for their lives!
