Event summary

Get ready for a thrilling adventure at the Zombie Night Crawl, happening throughout October 2027 in Bridgeport, Harrison! This spine-chilling event invites participants to run, walk, or crawl through a zombie-infested course, where you'll be chased by ghouls and monsters while testing your speed and endurance. The event kicks off on Friday, October 1, with the Kids Run starting at 6:00 PM, featuring a fun 0.87-mile lap for younger participants aged 4-12.

The main event, the 5K race, begins at 7:00 PM and consists of three laps around the baseball fields, where survival is key! Each racer starts with three flags representing their lives, but beware of the zombies lurking around, as they aim to snatch your flags!

With medals for the top finishers and age groups, along with finisher medals for the Kids Run, there's plenty of motivation to push through the spooky fun. Join us this October to see if humans can reclaim victory or if the zombies will reign supreme once again! Don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience

Organiser's Description

Run the Bridge at Night while being chased by zombies, ghouls, and other creepy monsters! Test your speed, and endurance while trying to navigate through a zombie-infested course.





COURSE: The walking path around the baseball fields located across from the CityNet Center.

DATE: October 2027 - TBA (DATE NOT SET)

SCHEDULE: (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

* 5:15pm-6:45pm - Participant Check In

* Wave 2 will line up directly after Wave 1

* 6:20pm-6:30pm - Kids Run After Party

* 7:00pm - 5k (3 Full Laps)



HUMANS
Walk, run, or crawl your way through our hoard of zombies, ghouls, and other creepy monsters, to try to reach the finish line alive. Each participant will begin with three lives (flags).

How to survive the zombie attack:

* Cross the finish line with at least one life (flag).

Human DONTS

* Do not knot or tie flags onto belt.
* Do not hold onto your flags if a zombie is trying to take them.
* Do not pick up flags off the ground.
* Do not take flags from other participants.



ZOMBIES
You have one goal... leave no survivors. It is your job to take as many lives (flags) as possible.

Zombie DONTS

* Do not touch or obstruct participants.
* Do not run, sprint, or chase. You may walk or jog.
* Do not grab more than one flag at a time.



AWARDS

* 5K Medals for overall top 3 male and top 3 female finishers
* NEW: 5K Medals for Age Groups

* 5K T-Shirts awarded at the end of the race.

* The t-shirt you receive will be based on the number of lives (flags) you have left when you finish.

* Kids Run finisher medals.



NEW: MEDPACKS ON THE 5K COURSE

Were adding a new twist to the Zombie Night Crawl 5K! Medpacks will now be scattered throughout the course, giving you a chance to gain back a life (flag)!

HOW DO MEDPACKS WORK?

* Medpacks will be placed in zombie-free areas just off the path, but still within sight.
* You can only take a flag from a medpack if youre missing at least one of your three flags.
* If you still have all three flags, you cannot grab a flag from a medpack. No saving them for later!



Heres the dilemma... Are you running to save your flags or racing for the best time? With the addition of age-group medals, will you take a little extra time to go off course and gain a life (flag), or risk it all to keep your pace?



The results are in from the Zombie Night Crawl! In 2025, the Zombies took the win, but in 2026, the Humans fought back and claimed victory!

The score is now tied 1-1! Who will come out on top in 2027? Get ready for some new twists, surprises, and even more spooky fun!



AGE RESTRICTIONS

* 5K: Ages 10+

* Kids Run: Ages 4-12

* A guardian may run with their child (no cost).
