Zombie Run

🧟‍♂️ Zombie Run

• Date: 2025-10-26
• Location: Long Leaf Park - Shelters 5 and 6, Wilmington, NC
• Description: The doomed participants will run a non-timed 5k course with zombies stationed and hidden throughout the course. The zombies will attempt to pull flags from the runners’ flag belts.
• Prizes: The first 50 participants who complete the course with at least one flag intact will receive an additional prize. Whether you are eaten by the zombies or you escape to tell the tale, all participants will receive a t-shirt.

Must be 12 or older to participate. Zombies LOVE middle school kids so we recommend for their survival they are accompanied by a parent.

👻 Monster Mile

• Family-friendly: A run/walk where kids can bring their Halloween baskets to trick or treat and take pictures with our zombies.
• Encouragement: Families are encouraged to run the monster mile together.
• Cheering Zombies: Zombies will be along the course, cheering the runners on as they run the mile.
