For the 3rd year in a row, Zombies will be taking over Casper Mountain for a good cause. The Casper Zombie 5K will start from the Casper Mountain Trail Center at 10 AM on Saturday, September 6th. Please keep in mind that this run is at altitude! Prepare your lungs!

There will have a free 12 & Under Children's Run at about 1K. If children wish to participate, make sure they are mentally ready. Zombies will not be "chasing" them however they will be "milling" about the course. There is no need to register for this race, it will be open to all who want to participate. The race begins at 11:15 PM.

Prizes will be awarded for best dressed zombie creeper, best dressed zombie chaser, best dressed male/female runner and at the children's run, best dressed zombie and best dressed runner!

Spectators are allowed at the event however if you are not a registered participant, you can not be on the course, there will have a small seating area for all of those who want to support their friends and family near the start/finish of the run but please bring chairs just in case seating is taken.

Registration is available to you today for $25.00 and you can register HERE. Registration increases from $25.00 to $35.00 on September 1st.
