The most unforgettable 5K fun run in the Rogue Valley! The Running Dead 5K is a charity event to benefit Goodwill's job training programs in the Southern Oregon region including Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath and Lake counties and Siskiyou county in CA. f you register as a human, your ultimate goal is to cross the finish line with at least one "life" remaining . You start with a belt with three flags. Humans who survive with one flag will be quarantined and will vie for King of the Survivors. If you sign on as a running zombie, your aim is to collect as many lives (flags) as you can for the purpose of becoming King of the Zombies at the after-party, the Apocalypse Party. You can also be a "placed zombie" ,meaning you pay $10 extra to have the luxury of not running the 5K course because you've been "placed" at a hiding spot along the route. Placed zombies can surprise running humans in a quest for flags.
