About this race

Rally your friends and prepare for an adrenaline-pumping 5K adventure at Camp Shenandoah — where survival is the ultimate goal!

This thrilling course winds through the hills and wooded trails of Camp Shenandoah along Little North Mountain in Swoope, VA. You’ll sprint, jog, and strategize your way through camp—but don’t get too comfortable. Somewhere behind you the zombies are gathering.
 
The humans get a head start… but not for long. The siren sounds and the zombie runners are released – the chase begins.

Each human participant will wear three flags, representing your “lives.” As zombies close in, their mission is simple: grab your flags and infect as many runners as possible before the finish line. Protect at least one flag and you survive. Lose them all… and you’ve joined the undead.

This isn’t just a race against the clock — it’s a race for survival. Every participant will receive a medal at the finish line. Will yours proudly declare you a “Survivor,” or mark you as “Infected?” Zombies will have their own bragging rights for total flags captured.

Whether you’re running for your life or chasing down the living, the Zombie 5K at Camp Shenandoah promises thrills, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos.

Do you have what it takes to survive the Zombie Apocalypse? 🧟‍♂️

All proceeds from the run will support the Virginia Headwaters Council of Scouting America.

This race is Trail Sisters Approved!
