It will be dark so please watch for zombies and please do not touch the zombies, they will not be chasing or grabbing you, that would just be rude wouldn’t it?

The 2024 event will just be the 5K and Fun Run with an awesome DJ. This will not be the full Zombie Fest, just the Walk, Run, Creep, or Crawl which is still through the Zombie Infested woods. So much fun, it’s SCARY!!!
For twelve years the Zombie Fest 5K and Fun Run has been “Raising Awareness, By Raising The Dead.” Each year this event has been made possible by Drug Free Cherokee, an initiative of Cherokee FOCUS since 2004. It is our way to bring awareness around the dangers of substance misuse and abuse, with a focus on our youth and young adults. Too many lives have been lost or damaged due to substance misuse, but so many lives have been saved through prevention efforts like education, policy changes, reducing drug and alcohol access to our underage youth, and through ongoing community supportive recovery efforts. Thank you for your registration, you may never know whose life was effected in some way, as a result of your support.
