About the Zombie 5K Run
The course runs through Arroyo Park with zombie actors stationed along the way, trying to grab flags off runners. You are not just racing a clock; you are trying to finish with your flags intact. The format turns a standard road distance into something closer to a chase, and the evening start means it gets dark on the course.
