The first ever Evansville Zombie 5k is set for Sunday, October 30 at 3:00 PM inside Wesselman’s Park to support American Red Cross. Event organizers say the first annual Evansville Zombie 5k Run & Walk involves racing to the Red Cross, retrieving a “cure” and getting it back to “base.” Organizers say zombies will be lurking around every corner. Each runner will have a flag football belt with 3 flags. The zombies will be trying to take all the flags, and it’s the runner’s job to dodge them the best they can. Registration starts at 2:30 PM, the race at 3:00 PM, and there will be free t-shirts. The top five male and top five female finishers receive a medal.

It’s expected to be back in Evansville on Wednesday.
