Organiser's Description
WHAT IS A ZOMBIE 5 K RUN?
Runners will endure a 5 K run/walk through a zombie-infested course. Test your speed, endurance, and strength while trying to avoid
ravenous zombies! Runners will wear a flag (provided) on one side of their waist (like flag football). These flags represent zombie health. Zombies will try to steal those flags throughout the course.
5 K Zombie Run was founded to celebrate happiness, healthiness, and friendship! Our mission is not about mile markers, but about
memories made.
We hope our 5K run will be an inspiration for healthy living. Those wishing for a run time must submit their phone numbers.
The runners time will be provided through this method.

Before the race, zombies will be placed throughout the route in their ZONE and can walk or run (their choice) to capture the runner's flag. Zombies must remain in their zone during the event and cannot run alongside the runners, but can certainly give chase for a few seconds while the runners are in their zone.
