8th Annual Traverse City Zombie Run - 5K Walk/Run

Join us for the Eighth Annual Traverse City Zombie Run, Saturday, October 29th. 2016

The Zombie Run has become a Traverse City Halloween tradition. What's not to like? Zombies and beer have always been a winning combination.

Over the years we have seen zombies from all walks of life, or should I say death. Who will show up this year, perhaps Zombie Trump? The only thing we never saw was someone not having a good time! Right Brain Brewery will hosting the run as always. The run wouldn't be the same without our friends at the Brain, get it?

Stick around after the race for the medal ceremony and best costumes prizes. We may have a few other surprises as well. Plus the beer will be flowing, who says you can't drink before noon? Besides, you’re already dead anyway!

Results and Timing Info

Results are available on your smartphone within minutes of finishing at www.rftiming.com/zombie. Searchable results will be available on our Race Results Page.

To help insure you will get an accurate finish time, please pin all four corners of the race number horizontally on the outside of any jacket or clothing on the front as close to the waist as possible. Water carriers or gel packs near the number can also affect the read. Wearing the number visibly on the front will insure a finish time.

We are still looking for volunteers to manage the zombies! A volunteer party will be held  at 7pm on Monday, October 24th at Right Brain Brewery. Click here to check out the volunteer oportunities!
