Zombie Fun Run 5k or 1mile

Zombie Fun Run 5k or 1mile takes place in Cedarville, Arkansas, on October 24, 2026. The 5K (3.1 miles) goes at 4:00 p.m. and a one-mile fun run follows at 4:30 p.m.

Late-afternoon starts tend to produce sharper running than early mornings, simply because you have been awake and moving for hours by then — so if you want a good time, the schedule is on your side. Use it properly: 10 minutes of easy jogging, a few strides at race pace, and be ready rather than cold. The two formats half an hour apart mean a family can run the mile and the 5K on the same afternoon without overlap. Preparation takes six weeks at most if you already run: one hard session a week at 5K effort, one steadier run, easy miles around them.
