Zombie Zoom - Halloween 5K

Prepare for a spooktacular start to your Halloween festivities at the Zombie Zoom - Halloween 5K, set to unleash its undead fun on Saturday, October 31, 2026, in picturesque Two Rivers, Wisconsin. This thrilling 3.1-mile event isn't just a race; it's a heart-pounding dash where you'll navigate a course filled with a playful horde of zombies, adding an exciting twist to your traditional 5K. Whether you're a seasoned runner or looking for a ghoulishly good time, the Zombie Zoom promises an unforgettable experience for all ages and paces.

The excitement kicks off at 9:00 AM from 1700 Washington Street, with convenient packet pick-up available the day prior or on race morning starting at 7:30 AM at Central Park East, where you can even get some festive zombie face painting. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 50F and lows around 36F, and a low chance of precipitation, making for ideal autumn running weather. The chip-timed event offers awards for the top male and female finishers, but the real highlight for many is the vibrant costume contest, boasting prizes for the best individual, group, and even the best dog costume. Restrooms are readily available at the Community House and Central Park West near the start and finish lines, and strollers are welcome at the back of the pack.

Every participant will be rewarded for outrunning the undead with a commemorative finisher medal and a race t-shirt. Beyond the thrill of the chase and the festive atmosphere, your participation in the Zombie Zoom - Halloween 5K serves a greater purpose, as all proceeds support the Two Rivers Parks and Recreation Department's youth sports equipment and financial aid fund.
