About this race
Proceeds
All event proceeds will benefit ShelterCare. ShelterCare is a Eugene/Springfield based nonprofit that provides housing and behavioral health services to individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness, or on the verge of becoming homeless.
General Event Details
On October 18th, ShelterCare will be partnering with Thrill the World Eugene to host a Zombie-themed 5k with 100+ zombies hidden around the Alton Baker race course!
Zombies will not touch you, so please do not touch them. All of our zombies are volunteers. Some zombie makeup may be too scary for young children.
Please no dogs, unless service dogs. We do not want any of our zombie friends to get bitten!
For this event, you may run or walk! We encourage runners to line up towards the front of the start line. Strollers are also welcome, please line up towards the back of the start line. There will be a timing chip in your race bib, which will record your start time and end time as you cross the race line!
Accessibility: The race course is fully paved, except for the first 100 feet and the last 100 feet- these are on gravel. Registration and vendor booths are also located on a gravels surface. ADA porta potty will be on-site.
If you are interested in volunteering at this event, please email us at [email protected]
