About this race
The Traverse City Track Club Zombie Run is a Halloween tradition! Over the years we’ve seen zombies from all walks of life, or should we say death. Who or what will show up this year? Right Brain Brewery will be hosting the run as always. Zombies and beer have always been a winning combination! Make sure to stick around after the race for the medal ceremony, costume prizes, music, post-race refreshments, and most of all zombie socializing!
You’ll collect your survival kit (a.k.a. race packet) at Right Brain Brewery.
Early Packet Pickup: Friday, October 30 from 5–7 PM. Pick up your bib, dodge a few zombies, and if you’d like, stick around to enjoy a Right Brain brew while you’re there.
Race Day Pickup: Saturday, October 31 from 7:30–8:45 AM. Quick in, quick out.
