🧟 Cherokee High School Zombie 5K – Run for Your Life! Survive 3.1 miles with the course crawling with zombies.
Join us Saturday, October 24th at 6:00 PM at the Cherokee High School Track for the Cherokee High School Zombie 5K! This Halloween-themed race combines a traditional 5K with a fun zombie survival challenge to raise money for the Cherokee High School Senior Class and Cross Country Team.
Runners who choose the Zombie Challenge will start the race with “lives” represented by flags. Along the course, you'll encounter designated Zombie Zones, where our zombies will try to steal your flags as you make your escape. Make it to the finish line with at least one flag remaining and you’ve survived the outbreak!
Don't want to be chased? No problem! Participants may run or walk the 5K without taking part in the Zombie Challenge.
🎃 Costumes are encouraged! 🧟 Multiple Zombie Zones throughout the course 🏃 Run or walk — all abilities welcome 👻 Optional Zombie Challenge 🏆 Race awards and survivor bragging rights 💰 All Proceeds benefit the Cherokee High School Senior Class and Cross Country Team
Our zombies will follow strict safety rules—no tackling, grabbing, pushing, or blocking runners. They're only after your flags!
Come dressed for Halloween, bring your friends and family, and see if you can survive the Cherokee High School Zombie 5K!
RUN. SURVIVE. SUPPORT CHEROKEE HIGH SCHOOL.
