$$5 5K Series: Zombie Zoom

$$5 5K Series: Zombie Zoom takes place in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 24, 2026, with a single 5K starting at 8:00 a.m. Three point one miles on a Saturday morning is about as easy as racing gets to schedule, and as part of a series it is designed to be repeatable rather than a one-off target on the calendar.

Series races are worth using deliberately. Rather than peaking for each one, keep training normally and race them as hard efforts inside a block, tracking the trend in your times across the series instead of judging any single day. If you do want one fast result, take the three days before it easy and run the first mile controlled. A 5K costs you very little in recovery, which is exactly why it is the best distance to race often.
