The course will begin at Pioneer Pavilion Community Center, leading participants past Metalworks Skate Park to the Hanadori Trail, around the P66 Sports Complex, through Pioneer Village, and back to the Pavilion. This year, Zombie Fun Run participants can choose their own adventure: 1 lap, 2 laps, or 3 laps for a full 5K.

Zombie Fun Run Course

Please note, this course includes gravel trails, potentially running through grass, and goes through Pioneer Village where no dogs are permitted.

If you’re feeling a bit undead yourself, there’s a unique opportunity to register as a zombie and join the horde!

On the registration form, please indicate whether you would like to participate as a runner or a volunteer zombie. All volunteers must register by Friday, October 4, 2024. Volunteers will be sent a separate email on Friday, October 4th with volunteer instructions. Volunteers should plan on being at the event from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in zombie attire. Zombies will NOT be allowed to make physical contact with runners and are not meant to “chase,” but to “shuffle.” This is a FUN RUN!
