Zombie Run - Traverse City, MI

Zombie Run - Traverse City, MI is put on by the Traverse City Track Club in Traverse City, Michigan, on October 31, 2026. One distance is offered, a 5K covering 3.1 miles, starting at 9:00 a.m. Runners dress as zombies and gather at Right Brain Brewery, and afterwards there is a medal ceremony, awards for the best costumes, music and refreshments.

Club-organized 5Ks tend to draw a mix of genuinely quick locals and people who came for the costume, which makes them a good place to test yourself without much pressure. Want a time? A few weeks of short, fast repetitions plus one weekly long run will do it. Want the morning instead? Jog it and save your energy for what follows. One practical note for a costume race: run in the outfit at least once beforehand, and pin your number somewhere it will still be visible.
