The second annual Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College 5K Zombie Run will be held on Thursday, October 29, at 6 p.m. at A.L. May Memorial Stadium on the Perkinston Campus.

The Zombie Run is a 5K with a twist – runners must avoid the zombies lurking throughout the course or risk being infected. More than 15 medals will be awarded, including Best Costume awards for adults and children.

Regular registration is $20. Same day registration will be $25.  Current MGCCC students may register for $10.  To register, visit www.mgccc.edu/zombierun. For up-to-date information about the run, like the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MGCCC5kZombieRun.
