Zombies are coming to Nathan Benderson Park!
Run for your life from flesh hungry zombies through a 3.1 mile trail. Face your fear as you run from the undead through trails and wooded paths. The zombies are ready and ravenous.
On October 15th 2016 the 5k Zombie Run returns to Sarasota for a third year! This year you'll run from zombies in broad daylight. What makes the day run more awesome than the night run? You can spot the zombies before you reach them, but they can see you too... Plan your moves carefully because you don't have the advantage of darkness to help you sneak by them!
You have the choice to be a Runner (human) and run from the zombies OR you can be a zombie and pull the runners’ flags as they make their way through your “Zombie Zone.”
How does it all work? Runners will wear 3 flags on a belt. Protect these flags because they are your “life.” Zombies are staged throughout the course and are ready to steal your flags. Try to survive, if you can... Lose your flags, and you can still finish the course as a runner. Look for Safe Zones at mile markers 1 and 2 with water, and pick up an extra life flag! Prepare for walkers, runners, crawlers... and some surprises.
Or become a member of the Zombie Horde instead! Polish your human hunting skills while adorned in true flesh-eating fashion, compliments of the event's expert make-up team, followed by a visit to our Blood Splatter zone.
