We provide water on the 5K race course only and post-race nutrition at the finish line, but there is *no* nutrition or electrolyte drinks at the water stations on the course. Water stations are near the first mile marker at 43rd Ave / Kennedy (water station 1) and the second mile marker at 40th Ave / Madison (water station 2). Occasionally neighbors along the course will also put out water and other goodies but these are not associated with the race.

Registration ends at noon on the Friday before race day (Friday, October 17). There is race day registration but we strongly recommend you register ahead of time. The lines can be long and we don't guarantee you'll be able to register before your race(s) begin. 

5K/1K/1M entrants will receive a Hyattsville Zombie Run t-shirt (please see note on size availability below), and each family will receive a goody bag. First-place-finishers in each age category in the 5K and 1M will receive a Zombie Run medal. All registered participants in the 1K Family Fun Run and 1M Kids Run will receive participation Zombie Run dog tags. Finish line food and drink will be available to all racers.

SHIRTS

Our shirts come in adult sizes S, M, L, XL, and XXL and youth sizes S, M, and L. The shirts feature this year’s Hyattsville Zombie Run logo, and sponsors are printed on the back. The availability of your t-shirt and your preferred size is not guaranteed as we order shirts well before the race day.
