Over the years we’ve seen zombies from all walks of life, or should we say death. Who or what will show up this year? The one thing we are sure of is that you’ll have a great time! Right Brain Brewery will be hosting the run as always.
Zombies and beer have always been a winning combination, and after 2020 a beer or two is well deserved! Make sure to stick around after the race for the medal ceremony, costume prizes, music, post race refreshments, and most of all zombie socializing!
