The GK Zombie Run will take place on November 8, 2024 from 6:30 p.m. onward, for students in third grade and older and their parents. Ticket sales will open on October 6, 2024 via our website (www.gkzombierun.com). Space is limited, so please register early!

Last year, the Zombie Run presented some recurring and new challenges. After much reflection and consultation with school administration, we have decided that we will produce Zombie Run 2024 as an event only for students in third grade and older and their parents. The main reasons for this change are:

• Safety concerns with our runners in the youngest grades

• Appropriateness of the event for younger students

• Requiring adults to accompany the youngest students

• Waves selling out too quickly in all other grade levels

We feel that our capacity to accommodate more students in older grades and our ability to ensure their safety will both now be significantly increased. But we also understand that some may be disappointed with this decision.

However, we are pleased to share that because of this change, there is another fundraising event being planned in the high school service community for the spring semester specifically tailored to students in grades 2 and below! We will direct these families to this event later in the school year. Stay tuned for more information! 

What is Zombie Run?

The Zombie Run is a 1.5km fun race across the entire SAS campus. Runners will encounter infested "Zombie Zones" where they have to protect their "lives" from the Zombies. These "lives" are similar to flag football; they are flags attached by velcro that the Zombies will attempt to pull off as you run by. Runners will also be able to rest in short safe zones scattered throughout the route.
Last year, we introduced new reusable belts that will hold our flags, and so we are excited to re-use them for the first time this year to reduce waste!

Every participating runner (parent or child), will be required to register and pay via our Eventbrite event. Your $50 ticket includes a race pack and admission to Zombie Run 2024. The race pack includes a T-shirt, a race day info sheet, and a belt with 3 flags (“lives”). Various amounts of American candy will be provided for the finishers. Extra lives flags can be purchased at the event for $2 each, or 3 for $5.
The Zombie Run will be subdivided into approximately 5 "waves,” separated by grade level for safety reasons, and also for level of zombie interaction. Waves are limited by capacity for safety as well as the overall scope of the event that we feel we are able to offer as a student-run high school service club.

New for 2024: In order to provide access for more families prior to sellouts, we have decided to restructure the waves slightly for this year. When ticket sales open, general Zombie Run tickets will be available to any student in grades 3 and up or their parent(s) until we reach total overall capacity (or by November 1, whichever is earlier). At that time, we will assign students to waves based on the grade-level distribution of those who have signed up, in order to keep the total number of runners per wave within safety limits. We will notify parents via email of their child(ren)’s wave number at that time, and waves will be designated by belt flag colors, which each runner will receive in their race packs during the delivery period.

Waves will run in order by age, starting with the youngest (3rd grade) first. We anticipate that the waves will start approximately 20 minutes apart, beginning at 6:30pm, and we are targeting a total of 5 waves.
We thank you for your patience and flexibility!

Race packs will be distributed to classrooms during the week of Zombie Run (Thursday latest). Classroom delivery information is gathered during the ticketing process via Eventbrite.

Rain date: Saturday, 9 November. Please be aware that should both race dates be canceled due to rain, there will be no refunds. We thank you for your donation and understanding.

The high school GK Club would like to thank the Theater Make-Up Club, Student Athletic Trainers, and Photo Club for their support.
