The Run For Your Life 5K - Fairborn

The Run For Your Life: The Outbreak is an interactive running event presented by Run Ohio Races LLC on September 27, 2026, at Fairborn Community Park, 691 E Dayton Yellow Springs Rd, Fairborn, Ohio. The event offers multiple race options and a themed experience that separates participants into two roles: Survivors and Zombies.

Survivors run the paved course while wearing a flag football belt. The course includes clearly marked infected zones where Zombies are permitted to station themselves and try to capture flags from Survivors. If a Survivor reaches the finish area with all flags intact, they are considered to have survived; losing one or more flags indicates infection but participants still complete the course.

Zombies remain within designated infected zones rather than running the whole course. Limited zombie slots are available for The Zombie Experience, and that entry includes a T-shirt. All finishers receive a finisher medal.

Distances available at the event:

  • 3.1 Miles: The Run For Your Life 5k
  • 6.2 Miles: The Zombie Experience
  • 6.2 Miles: 10k

Registration fees noted for listed events include $35.00 for the 5k and $45.00 for the 10k; The Zombie Experience is shown with no fee. The course layout highlights infected zones to separate Survivor and Zombie activity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
