Zombie 5k Run/ 1 Mile Walk

Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning!
Attention all citizens! Please be on alert! There has been warnings of a Zombie Invasion approaching McHenry County!

Fortunately, Home of the Sparrow has been able to confine the Living Dead in our restricted Zombie Zone Area; but we need your help in making sure that the Zombies don’t escape! 

Gather a team of protectors and join us on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at Three Oaks Recreation Area in Crystal Lake! Race through a 5K course and be prepared to enter a mile long Zombie Zone full of the Living Dead. Zombies cannot physically touch or chase any human. If you rather not run, you can take your chances by joining in a 1 mile walk through the Zombie Zone. A family friendly, mile long Safe Zone Walk has been created for those who rather stay clear of Zombies.

In order to protect yourself, we encourage that you dress as a Zombie or in a Halloween costume. This will confuse the Living Dead, keeping you safe. 

A celebratory Monster Mash Party will follow, consisting of; face painting, pumpkin painting and awards for best Zombies. Medals will also be awarded for the top three runners in each age category.
