Can you help Fairborn Ohio Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?

Choose a 5K or 10K, Protect Your Flags, and Complete a New Mission Each Week!

Join Run Ohio Races for a four-race, flag football-style zombie series at Fairborn Community Park. Choose a 5K or 10K, wear a flag football belt and protect your flags as you travel through designated infected zones. Zombies will remain inside the infected zones and attempt to steal your flags as you pass.

Finish with all your flags to survive! Lose a flag and you have been infected—but you can still finish the race and earn your medal. Runners and walkers of all paces are welcome, and flag belts will be provided.

Each race features a different mission:

September 27: Deliver the Emergency Message

October 3: Recover the Missing Ingredient

October 17: Secure the Blood Supply

October 24: Transport the Cure

The 5K includes three laps and six passes through the infected zone, while the 10K includes six laps and twelve infected-zone encounters.

Register for one mission or complete the entire series. Fairborn’s survival depends on you!
