5k Zombie Run & 1 Mile Fun Run
About this race
RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE!
Get ready for a 5K Zombie Run & 1-Mile Fun Run, sponsored by the Van Buren Public School Education Foundation!
We’ll be running for our lives through Van Buren Park and along the Iron Belle Trail, where ghosts, goblins, and zombies will be roaming about for a spooktacular and scary-fun time!
Not quite ready to outrun the zombies? Our 1-Mile Fun Run will be a little more kid-friendly and perfect for the whole family!
Come run, walk, scream, and have some Halloween fun while supporting the Van Buren Public School Education Foundation!
Lace up… the zombies are waiting!
