COSTUMES 

Costumes are encouraged but not required! This is a 5K with a Halloween/Zombie theme to make it fun. There will be awards for costumes and some racers might dress as zombies or in other costumes but there will not be any zombies chasing the runners along the course. This is a fun, family event, and you are welcome to dress as you see fit. Register for the costume contest at the HES PTA tent—you must register to participate! Prizes will be awarded!

FOOD AND DRINKS

Local vendors will be selling food. Local brewery Denizens Brewing Company will be on site selling beer and Maryland Meadworks will be on site selling Mead. Vendors will ask for proof of identification for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. 

TIMING

Race timing for the Hyattsville Zombie Run is provided by Race Wire (my.racewire.com/athletes). Runners who provide their cell phone number or email during registration will receive their official time from Race Wire shortly after finishing the race. All race bibs will have timing devices already affixed to the back of the bib when you pick it up. If you register for multiple races, you will receive multiple bibs. Please be sure to wear the correct bib for the correct race!

PLEASE NOTE: Bending, crumpling, or folding the bib may affect the ability of the timing device to correctly record a runner’s time. Please be careful handling the bib to avoid damaging the timing device. Do not move through the finish arch with your bib on unless you are completing a race! This could impact how the sensors record your run. 

RUNNERS’ RULES

Dogs, skates, or bikes are not allowed on the race course. Strollers are permitted must start at the back of the pack, for the safety of other runners. You do not need to register the child in the stroller. Headphones or any listening devices are not permitted during any of the Hyattsville Zombie Run races. Please note that while we do not have a minimum age for individuals to run the 5K,  we are not responsible for unaccompanied children on the course. Course marshals are there to keep runners safe and ensure that cars do not enter the course. While they also cheer on the runners, they are not responsible for stopping runners from leaving the course.
