Camas parks to host Zombie Dash Fun Run

Runners can test their speed — and their ability to dodge zombies — during Camas Parks & Recreation’s Zombie Dash Fun Run on Oct. 17.

The free event will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Legacy Lands Rose Property, 215 S.E. Leadbetter Road. Participants of all ages will navigate a 1.25-mile course with obstacles while trying to keep their flags from volunteer zombies.

Participants who cross the finish line with at least one flag will have survived the zombie apocalypse. Those who lose all of their flags will be considered “infected,” but still will receive a certificate of completion. The final 30 minutes of the course will be zombie-free for participants who want to run without the fright.

Volunteers ages 14 and older also are needed to play zombies. Volunteers will chase participants along the course and attempt to take their flags. Zombies are needed from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and must provide their own costumes. Some makeup will be provided.

Pre-registration is required through Eventbrite. All volunteers must complete a city application and background check. For more information or to volunteer, contact Jacquie Hill at [email protected].
