Popcorn Festival, Marion campus hosting Zombie 5K

The Marion campus and Marion Popcorn Festival are joining forces to host The Running Dead: Zombies Unleashed 5K Run, on Saturday, October 22nd on the Marion campus

The race starts at the Alber Student Center, where runners will endure a 5K run through a zombie-infested course.  Participants are encouraged to test their speed, endurance, and strength, while trying to avoid ravenous zombies.  Runners will have flags that represent their health. Zombies will try to steal those flags. Runners must make it to the finish line with at least one flag or become one of the walking dead.
