Zombie Night Crawl

Zombie Night Crawl is a 5K run held at night, featuring a survivor-versus-zombie flag game on the path surrounding the baseball fields opposite the CityNet Center. Participants begin as “survivors” equipped with three flags on a belt. The 5K is conducted in heats, which may be combined based on participant numbers. A separate Kids Run, one loop of the path, takes place before the main 5K heats. When the siren sounds, survivors navigate the zombie-infested area—walking, running, or crawling—while zombies attempt to remove their flags. Survivors complete the game by finishing in the top five overall for men or women, or by reaching the finish line with at least one flag remaining. Strategically placed med packs offer replacement flags, but only survivors with all three flags intact can collect them. Any flag obtained from a med pack must be immediately attached to the belt. The rules ensure fair play: flags cannot be tied on, held when a zombie is reaching, picked up from the ground, or taken from other survivors.
