HOWL-O-WEEN Hairy and Scary Fest Zombie Run 2.5k / 5k

👻 Race Overview

Prepare yourself to run (or walk) for your lives! This will be a charity 5k with all proceeds going to Lucky Dawg Rescue Inc. This will be taking place on Saturday, October 25th.

• Event Timing: There will be a 2.5/5K Jog With Your Dawg fun run at 9am, a Pet Fair Adoption Event with local shelters at 10 am, a dog and dog/human duo costume contest at 12 pm, and the Zombie 5K Run at 1 pm.
• Entertainment: Music throughout the events provided by DJ Peace Productions and a live band from 2-4 pm provided by Now You Know Blues Band.

🧟‍♂️ Zombies on the Trail

There will be zombies! Zombies, you say? Zombie zones and safe zones along the trail. Oh yes, ZOMBIES!

🐶 Safety for Pets

• Race Restrictions: Unfortunately, for the safety of racers and dogs, we will not allow dogs in the Zombie race event.
• Leash Requirement: If you decide to bring your animal for watching, they must be leashed at all times and not on the race route during the race.

🏃 Basic Survival

Before the race, you will be given flags just like the overly intimidating game of flag football. These flags represent your health.

• Zombies' Goal: The zombies want to take your flags and maybe eat your brains.
• Infection Status: If you lose all your health flags, you will be considered infected!
• Survivor Prize: If you finish with a flag, you will be awarded with the survivor prize.

👥 Team Survivor Challenge

NOTE: If you form and run with a TEAM, and if any member of that team survives with a flag, the ENTIRE team receives the "Survivor" medal! The perfect reason to recruit your friends! Teams must consist of no more/less than 3 members.

🏁 What You're Up Against

There will be zombies. Their job is to chase you and eat you — but mainly go after your health, in the form of your flag belt. Avoid the zombies to keep your health flags.

• Strategies Needed: Use speed, strategy and your intact brains to make it to the FINISH LINE “alive” with at least ONE FLAG INTACT.
• Transformation: If you finish with zero health flags, this means the zombies have successfully transformed you into the “undead”.
