All event proceeds will benefit ShelterCare. ShelterCare is a Eugene/Springfield based nonprofit that provides housing and behavioral health services to individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness, or on the verge of becoming homeless.

On October 20th, ShelterCare will be partnering with Thrill the World Eugene to host a Zombie-themed 5k with 100+ zombies hidden around the Alton Baker race course!
Zombies will not touch you, so please do not touch them. All of our zombies are volunteers. Some zombie makeup may be too scary for young children.
Please no dogs, unless service dogs. We do not want any of our zombie friends to get bitten!

For this event, you may run or walk! We encourage runners to line up towards the front of the start line. Strollers are also welcome., please line up towards the back of the start line. There will be a timing chip in your race bib, which will record your start time and end time as you cross the race line! The course is fully paved!
If you are interested in volunteering at this event, please email us at development@sheltercare.org

Packets will be available virtually. A limited number of paper packets will be available the day of the race.

To pick up your packet and/or T-shirt in advance- please visit the ShelterCare table Tuesday, October 15th between 5-8pm at Falling Sky! In addition, our friends at Falling Sky will be donating $1 per pint purchased on the day of the 15th. **If you register after 2:00pm on October 15th, your bib will not be ready at packet pickup and will be available to pick up at the race on Oct. 20th*
