Zombie Mania 2026

Zombie Mania is a 5K run held in October, taking place in Nature Park and Eagle Park. The course is a flat loop suitable for runners, walkers, families, and those preferring a relaxed pace. This event transforms a standard park run into a chase: participants wear flags representing their "health," and volunteer zombies attempt to capture these flags before runners finish. The route begins at Nature Park, then circles through Eagle Park. Zombies are positioned along the path and might emerge from foliage to take a runner's life belt. The game resembles capture the flag or tag more than a typical road race. A 1-mile costume run is also offered before the main 5K for those interested in dressing up without the zombie chase.
