Zombie Run - Humboldt

Zombie Run - Humboldt is held in Humboldt, Tennessee, on October 24, 2026. The program lists one event, the Zombie 5k & Glow Run over 5K (3.1 miles), and it starts at 6:30 p.m., after dark for late October. An evening start changes the feel of a 5K completely, and it is the detail to build your day around.

Practically, that means eating your last real meal three to four hours before the start and keeping the afternoon quiet instead of on your feet. Run a couple of evening sessions in the weeks beforehand so the timing is not new to you on race night. Visibility matters too: reflective or light-colored gear helps, and you should expect to run more by feel than by watch when you cannot read the ground clearly. For a first 5K, a month of consistent running three times a week is enough to get you comfortably to the finish.
