Shenandoah Zombie Run
Swoope, United States • 24 Oct 2026
Event Overview
The Shenandoah Zombie Run is a themed running event that takes place at Camp Shenandoah in Swoope, Virginia. Participants run a 5K distance on trails through the camp, which includes hills and woods along Little North Mountain. The event features an interactive "zombie" element.
Course and Format
Runners navigate a course at Camp Shenandoah while attempting to evade other participants acting as zombies. Each runner is given a belt with three flags that represent lives. The objective is to finish the course with at least one flag remaining. Finishing without any flags results in being classified as "infected," while finishing with at least one flag means the runner has "survived." The event is described as a race for survival rather than a race against the clock.
Participant Details
All participants receive a medal upon finishing. The medal denotes whether the runner was a "Survivor" or "Infected." The event is scheduled for a Saturday in October. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
