About the Zombie Run
The Zombie Run starts and finishes at Right Brain Brewery, and costumes are a genuine part of the field, not an afterthought. The Traverse City Track Club puts this one on as a Halloween event, so expect the crowd around you to look considerably more undead than your average morning.
Packet pickup happens at the brewery the evening before, where you can stay for a beer if you want. Race morning pickup is available too, earlier before the start. After the race, the brewery hosts a costume contest, music, and post-race food and drink.
