Laurel Oaks to host 5K zombie run

0

Here’s the situation: It’s the zombie apocalypse, and you’re at an abandoned airport. You have to run five kilometers (3.1 miles) across the grass, through hangars, and onto the runway. Simple? Maybe not, when zombies are lurking and waiting to catch you.

Do you have what it takes? Find out! Register for the Laurel Oaks Zombie 5K run Saturday, Oct. 14 at 6:30 pm.

The Zombie 5K Run is a two lap 3.1 mile fun run. The course will wind its way around the Laurel Oaks Career Campus, where participants will run on concrete, on grass and through buildings all while trying to evade the lurking zombies. Zombie characters are played by students and volunteers whose makeup/dress will be done by the Laurel Oaks Cosmetology and Digital Arts and Design programs. Throughout your run you will see emergency vehicles, cars, trucks, and planes from the Laurel Oaks Automotive Technology and Aviation Maintenance programs, along with a variety of props created by students. The run ends, as all runs should, with free s’mores.
