The Zombie Run 5K and 1 Mile Walk is a fun-run event centered on a zombie chase, featuring a 5K race and a 1-mile walk option. Participants wear flags and navigate a course where zombies attempt to tag them. The focus is on remaining quick, alert, and engaged rather than on race times.
The course challenges runners to employ speed, endurance, and strength while evading zombies. The event emphasizes the collective experience: costumes, chases, and the "survive the course" scenario are prioritized over mile markers or typical road-race procedures.
