2025 - 5K Zombie Run & One Mile Family Fun Run
2025 distances
Running
5K Zombie Run
In a Zombie Run, you run a 5k while avoiding the advances of the Zombies!! Runners are equipped with Velcro belts holding 3 flags and the goal is to finish the run with at least one flag left. Zombies are stationed intermittently throughout the route and they will try to steal the runners’ flags. Flags will be turned in for prizes. In addition, there will be overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes who manage to finish with the fastest times and all flags still intact. In a world with Zombies, running fastest, out in the lead, may not be the best strategy to preserve your flags - there is something to be said for not drawing attention to yourself.
One Mile Family Fun Run
This run is for anyone who wants to be part of the festivities but doesn’t want to run 3.1 miles or deal with Zombies. It’s a great opportunity for families and friends to run…or walk…together.
