About the race
Zombie Run 10K & 5K is a Halloween-themed running event presented by Escape This at Depena Reserve, Russell Avenue, Sandringham NSW. The event offers on-course zombie pacers for timed waves and a family-friendly 2 km Zombie Dash without pacers.
Participants can choose from these distances:
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Zombie Dash
- Virtual 10 km and 5 km options available to participants outside NSW, with a seven-day window to complete the virtual distance and submit results.
Wave-based pacing determines whether a finisher receives a SURVIVOR medal for finishing ahead of the zombie pacer or a ZOMBIE/INFECTED medal for finishing behind the pacer. The event provides a free pack of zombie-themed temporary tattoos, a themed finishers medal, and an event T-shirt available for purchase at A$35. The organisers describe the course as flat and fast and state the event is professionally timed and managed as a no-contact running event.
Entry fees vary by distance. The event permits name or distance transfers before the event for an admin fee and outlines a staged refund schedule based on how far in advance a request is made. Sponsors named for the event include Escape This, Holey Moley Golf Club, and Sydney Striders. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
