About the Clinton Road Zombie Run
Clinton Road has a reputation for ghost stories and unsettling local legends, and this race leans into all of it. The route runs along that road, through wooded stretches and foggy open sections, with costumed volunteers stationed along the way to chase and startle runners. There are several distance options, from a costume-friendly walk-run to a longer push for those who want more.
Check-in is at the corner of Van Orden Road and Clinton Road, which also serves as the hub for vendor and sponsor areas before and after the race. Parking is along Schoolhouse Cove Road in designated spots only, so arriving with a plan helps. Post-race awards and a costume contest wrap things up once the last distance finishes.
