About the 2026 Zombie 5K
The Zombie 5K runs out of CAM-PLEX Park and leans into the spooky theme, so costumes are as common as running shoes. Some people come to race; plenty come dressed as the undead. The route is open to runners and walkers alike, and the atmosphere follows the costume count rather than the clock.
Proceeds go to Personal Frontiers, Inc., which runs programs for individuals and families in the area, so the entry fee does some work beyond the race itself. The start area is at the park, which gives everyone a central, easy-to-find gathering spot before and after.
