About this event
Many of you may already know about or have participated in a zombie walk, shamble or even flash mob. If you have not, these events take place all over the United States and in many countries. Participants gather dressed as zombies (think Shaun Of The Dead) and walk the streets of their cities and towns. We thought it would be fun to do things a little different in T.C. and get as many runners and walkers together as we can on Halloween morning for a zombie 5k fun run/walk. All proceeds from this event will benefit TART trails. There will be prizes for winners and for best costume, with music and post run refreshments for all.

Stick around after the run because Joanne Graham a certified and licensed massage therapist has volunteered her services for the participants of the zombie run/walk. To learn more about her services go to www.joannegrahamlmt.com.

Porterhouse Productions presents Zmash, a Zombie Party at The Teminal. Witness a HUGE sound and lights experience and prepare to dance all night. This is a huge event for youth and we are offing a under 21 alcohol free first show that will offer all the talent and culture for kids to have a chance to dance! Join us for 3 ROOMS and 30,000 Square Feet of Halloween Celebration and a Zombie Walk for thousands! This aims to be a legendary event not to miss! Download the flyer for more information.

TART is a non-profit organization that builds trails, advocates for active living and outdoor recreation. Their work includes negotiating easements, hosting annual events that promote healthy lifestyles, and defending cyclists and pedestrian interests.
