Zombie Run 10K & 5K
Zombie Run 10K & 5K is a Halloween-themed running event at Depena Reserve, Russell Avenue, Sandringham, NSW on 24 October 2026. The event offers in-person and virtual options and uses themed pacers to set target times for waves.
Participants select a target time for their wave and attempt to finish ahead of the zombie pacer for that wave. Runners who finish ahead receive a SURVIVOR medal; those finished behind receive a ZOMBIE/INFECTED medal. The event also includes a family 2 km dash without pacers.
Available distances:
- 10 km Zombie Fun Run with survivor or infected medal
- 5 km Zombie Fun Run with survivor or infected medal
- 2 km Zombie Dash, finishers receive infected medal
- Virtual 5 km and 10 km options with mailed bib and medal
Event features listed by the organiser include a no-contact format, zombie-themed temporary tattoos, zombie pacers supported by Sydney Striders, and a flat, fast course. The first 100 in-person entrants receive a free cotton event t-shirt, with a technical shirt or tank upgrade offered for an additional $20. The virtual 10 km entry window runs from 24 October to 1 November 2026 and requires results submission for medal allocation.
Organisers describe the event as professionally timed and managed, with sponsor prizes and giveaways and an emphasis on dressing up for the themed atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
