Roseburg Optimist 5 K RUN/WALK

Roseburg Optimist 5 K RUN/WALK Race Information

<p><strong>What is a Zombie 5 K Run?</strong></p> <p>Runners will endure a 5 K run/walk through a zombie-infested course. Test your speed, endurance, and strength while trying to avoid<br />ravenous zombies! Runners will wear a flag (provided) on one side of their waist (like flag football). These flags represent zombie health. Zombies will try to steal those flags throughout the course. </p> <p>5 K Zombie Run was founded to celebrate happiness, healthiness, and friendship! Our mission is not about mile markers, but about<br />memories made.</p> <p>We hope our 5K run will be an inspiration for healthy living. Those wishing for a run time must submit their phone numbers. <br />The runner’s time will be provided through this method.</p> <p><strong>What makes the 5 K the Zombie Run special?</strong><br />This 5 K Zombie Run is a fundraising event for the Roseburg Optimist Club. 100% of the proceeds go to the Roseburg Optimist Club to support children’s events in Douglas County. Your participation in the 5 K Zombie Run makes a difference!</p> <p>All participants will receive a <strong>FREE 5 K Zombie Run T-shirt.  A commemorative finisher medallion, a race bib, a flag, and snacks at the finish of the race will be provided by Thrive Umpqua.</strong> Commemorative medallions will be awarded to healthy racers and infected racers. Infected racers are those who lost their flag to a zombie during the race.</p> <p><strong>Race information:</strong><br />The Zombie Run will take place on Saturday, October 17th, at Stewart Park. The check-in time is 8:00 am, with the race starting at 9:00 am.</p>
