Everyone knows that you run faster when you're being pursued by ravenous zombies. And there will be zombies galore at the Blenheim-Gilboa Visitor's Center in Blenheim this Saturday to scare 5K runners into performing at their personal best.
The Zombie Run 5K is a fundraiser for the Middleburgh Library--for $25, both runners and zombies are invited to participate. Come in costume or pay $5 extra for on-site zombification.
Zombies in full undead attire will line the route and aim to remove "health flags" worn by the 5K runners. Anyone with remaining health flags at the end of the race is a survivor.
Suvivors and the recently-devoured alike get to party after the race at the Scare Fair, which features a haunted house, a kids' costume parade and contest, laser tag, music, vendors, and general merriment.
Zombie Run 5K and Scare Fair. 9 a.m., Blenheim-Gilboa Visitor's Center, 1378 Route 30, North Blenheim. Event details on Facebook.
