PORT ANGELES — Tickets are on sale for the 5K Zombie Mud Run and obstacle course set Saturday, May 7, on the Peninsula College campus.
The third annual event at the college at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd. offers challenges for participants of all ages.
Proceeds will benefit Peninsula College athletic scholarships.
“You do not have to be in it to win it to enter these races,” said Jeremiah Johnson, athletic activities coordinator.
“Simply come enjoy a day of challenging obstacles, crawling through the mud and running away from the undead,” he said.
Race fees prior to April 15 are $40 for those 15 and older, $30 for those ages 8 to 14 and $10 for those 7 and younger.
Day-of registration will begin at 8:30 a.m., with the first race at 9:30 a.m.
Ticket prices increase by $10 for race-day registration.
Trophies will be awarded to the top three finishers in their divisions.
“Some of this year’s obstacles include our 14-foot-high climbing wall, zombie-infested mud pits, a water tank, crawls, over-unders and our signature 65-foot waterslide to the finish line,” Johnson said.
The adult course consists of seven zombie zones and 12 challenging obstacles.
The Zombie Run will feature something for everyone:
■ Full mud run obstacle race for competitive division (ages 15 and older) with a 1 p.m. start.
■ Full mud run obstacle youth race for ages 8 to 14, with a 9:30 a.m. start.
■ Slides and small obstacles for those 7 and younger, with an 11:30 a.m. start.
Start times are tentative, based on when racers in prior divisions complete the course.
The entry fee includes an official Pirate Zombie T-shirt, admission and timing chip.
Racers are asked to check in one hour prior to their races to receive timing chips.
Register prior to April 15 for a guaranteed shirt size.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase on site from local venders.
