Zom-Bee 5k

Zom-Bee 5k is run in Anderson, South Carolina, on October 31, 2026. Two options are on offer: a 1K run/walk at 9 a.m. for the youngest participants and anyone easing in, and the 5K run/walk fifteen minutes later at 9:15 a.m.

The 5K is the most flexible distance in road racing. You can walk it, jog it with friends, or run it flat out as a fitness test, and the recovery cost stays small either way. Runners who already train regularly often use a late-October 5K to gauge where their speed sits before winter; if that is you, a couple of tempo runs in the preceding weeks will tell you what pace to commit to from the gun. The fifteen-minute gap between the two starts also makes it easy for a family to do both.
