Event Description

The Lake Jackson Lions Club’s ZombieFest 5K Fun Run is Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 11:00 am, at MacLean Park in Lake Jackson.

After a long pandemic hibernation, the Zombie Horde has awakened, and they are agitated and hungry! Can you survive the Zombie Horde by running through the woods without becoming infected? Or will you become a Zombie and join the Horde? Skill, speed, and guile may get you through unscathed.

Or you can come as a Zombie and chase the runners! How many can you ‘recruit’ to the horde?

Whether you choose to be a runner or a Zombie the proceeds of ZombieFest will go to help feed our local neighbors. Because real hunger is scary.

And if you bring canned food or extra $$ we will give you a really cool neck gaiter to protect your neck from the cold in the winter and hungry Zombies (no warranties against Zombie Infection).

All proceeds from ZombieFest will go to our local food banks, Brazosport Cares, The Food Basket, and The Dream Center.
