FREAKY 5K: OUTRUN THE APOCALYPSE
Where survival isn’t guaranteed… but the thrill is.
Do you have what it takes to outrun the undead? Step into the ultimate zombie-infested race experience where every turn hides a threat, every shadow creeps with danger, and every step could be your last. The Freaky 5K isn’t just a run—it’s a fully immersive zombie apocalypse adventure built to test your speed, your nerve, and your will to survive.
As you race through our terror-charged course, you’ll encounter:
Chasing Zombies ready to hunt you down
Action Obstacles designed to challenge your agility and keep you deep in the story
Eerie fog, lighting and soundscapes that make you forget this is “just a run”
Your mission is simple: Finish the race. Avoid infection. Survive.
Cross the finish line—if you can—and you’ll earn your exclusive Survivor Medal, proof that you made it out alive when so many didn't. This is one race you’ll never forget!
Gather your squad, lace up, and prepare for adrenaline, screams, and unforgettable chaos.
The apocalypse is coming… will YOU survive it?
HAVE FUN AND GIVE BACK!
$2 from each ticket will be given to Primary Children's Hospital where kids struggling with all sorts of needs will benefit.
