Get ready to race for your life at the inaugural Evansville Zombie 5k Run & Walk! On October 20th, Wesselman Park transforms into ground zero for the undead outbreak, where you'll run or walk to deliver a "cure" to Red Cross headquarters – and try not to become zombie chow in the process! Dodge the undead craving your "brains" (well, tagging your shirt with fake blood) from 4pm, and when you've crossed the finish line, let loose at the Halloween After Party starting at 4:45pm.    Chill with paranormal experts, get a psychic reading, pedal away on the Party Time Peddlers, or explore a haunted trail. Your race kit includes an event shirt, water stops, snacks and exclusive access to the post-race party. Partner with the Red Cross by giving blood the day before and help support Wesselman Woods. Remember, zombies can register too – wreak havoc in a group and represent your business for a ghastly good time!
