- Costumes encouraged.
- Please remember younger children might be frightened by the Zombies. Please use your best judgment when signing up.
Zombies:

The race will take place at Monteith River Park in Albany. Check in time on race day begins at 8AM with a race start time of 9:30AM. Awards will be given for placement and best costumes.

This includes a race t-shirt. Cost to register after 9/24 and up to race day is also $30, but this will not include a race t-shirt. For those who miss out on the shirt option, you will still have a chance to purchase a shirt on race day as they will be available for $15 while supplies last.

Please note that there are no refunds once registered and paid.
Whether you choose to participate as a human or a zombie, the Zombie Chase 5K should offer loads of entertainment for everyone. Extra kudos goes out to any of you who choose to dress as my favorite cross bow wielding zombie hunter.
