About The Zombie 5K Challenge

The Zombie 5K Challenge is a Obstacle & Mud Runs race in Salem, Massachusetts consisting of a 5K Novelty Run (Short).

What better way to kick off the Halloween season than to have a Zombie hoarde chase you through Gallows Hill park? The hills are steep, the trails are wooded and the park is full of Zombies ready to chase you down and take one of the three flags from your flag belt. The goal of this race is not to achieve the fastest time, The goal of this race is survival! Runners will follow the designated course while encountering a terrifying array of the finest Zombies Salem has to offer! Runners will be wearing a flag belt, similar to the ones worn in flag football. The zombies will try to grabKeep Reading the flags off the belt, which 'kills' the runner. Once a runner looses all three of their flags, they are 'dead'. Dead runners will still finish the course and will receive a medal, and anyone who has any flags left after they finish are 'alive' and will receive a medal with a "survivor" ribbon attached.

This is a cross country course being run in the late afternoon in historic Salem. Be prepared for 4 laps through Gallows Hill Park facing steep hills, trails, playing fields, gravel roads and some of the scariest Zombies that you have ever seen in your entire life! The 5 kilometer course will be clearly outlined and there will be volunteers on the course to guide and assist you.
