Kick off the Halloween season with a zombie invasion! Dress up in your Halloween costume and join us for our first ever Zombie 5k Run, 1 Mile Walk on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at Three Oaks Recreation Area in Crystal Lake! The run will begin at 8:30am and the walk will begin at 9:30am. Registration fee is $35.00 per participant.

Runners will enjoy a challenging course, with prizes and awards being given to the top runners. A family-friendly second heat will also be available for walkers. Runners/walkers can also participate in fundraising with an online pledge-a-thon. Free t-shirt for the first 100 participants who raise $150.00!
