Zombie Run 5k - Henderson

Zombie Run 5k - Henderson takes place in Henderson, Tennessee, on October 31, 2026, with one distance offered: a 5K of 3.1 miles starting at 9:00 a.m. For most runners that is somewhere between 18 and 40 minutes of work depending on current fitness, and a nine o'clock gun leaves the rest of Halloween entirely free.

Think of a 5K as speed work you get a medal for. In the weeks beforehand, replace one easy run with intervals at 5K effort, six times 800 meters with two minutes of jogging between is a classic, and keep everything else relaxed. On the day, the mistake almost everyone makes is going out too fast: the pace that feels comfortable in the opening half-mile is usually 20 seconds a mile quicker than you can actually hold. Start honest and you will be the one passing people later.
