From the Organizer
Get ready for a spooktacular run/walk through the cemetery! Our 5K/1K fundraiser is part race, part Halloween adventure, and just the right amount of creepy. Whether you’re racing for a PR or running for your life, you’ll weave your way through the cemetery along this course.
And don’t forget to dress to impress… or terrify! Join our Zombie Costume Contest for your chance to show off your most creative, creepy, hilarious, or downright terrifying zombie look.
Best of all, your participation helps support the Lebanon High School Cross Country Team! Every registration or donation helps our athletes chase their goals, compete at their best, and keep the team moving forward.
Come for the run. Stay for the zombies. Leave before they catch you!
Costumes encouraged. Zombie costumes highly recommended.
Run for the Cross Country Team. Run from the Zombies.
