The Zombies Are Coming to Holland
Join 3Sixty for a 5K chase through Holland!
Sat Oct 31 • 9-11am Centennial Park
The rules are simple. Every runner gets a bib and a flag belt. Flag-hungry zombies lurk along the haunted route, so dodge fast and finish with as many flags as you can. Costumes are welcome!
Registration is $25 and includes a medal, an "I Survived the 2026 Zombie Run" tee, and a story you'll be telling all winter! When you cross the finish line, stick around the park with family and friends for coffee, donuts, music, and photo booth fun.
Every dollar raised supports 3Sixty's neighbor-led work across Holland, where we work hard to build community, create resources, and look out for our neighbors. (Even the bitey ones.)
Not a runner? We’d love to have you join as a volunteer zombie or sponsor!
How the Chase Works
Every runner starts the route in Centennial Park with a flag belt around their waist. Zombies are lurking along the route and will try to grab your flags as you pass. Try not lose your flag! (And survive.)
A few rules keep it fun and safe:
Zombies grab flags only. No touching, grabbing, or blocking runners.
Keep your flags and bib visible. No hiding them.
Lost all your flags? Keep going! You still finish the race.
Watch for volunteers and follow their directions on the course.

Your Questions, Answered!
-
It's a 5K where you wear a flag belt and try to keep your flags away from the zombies chasing you. Part race, part Halloween party, and all for a good cause.

Nope. Run, jog, or walk at your own pace. The zombies will find you either way.

Nope! This one is just for fun. (And survival.)
