From the Organizer
Lace up your shoes and get ready for a fun-filled adventure at the Zombie Run 5K on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in the newly renovated Yoctangee Park! This family-friendly event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages to enjoy a thrilling Halloween-themed race, and we encourage participants to show off their Halloween spirit by dressing up in costumes. Every participant will receive a commemorative T-shirt and finisher medal, and after crossing the finish line, the fun continues at the Chillicothe Halloween Festival, where your participation helps provide free family entertainment—including live music, circus performances, and children's activities—while also supporting grants to local 501(c)(3) organizations that strengthen and enrich our community throughout the year.
