The second Annual Zombie Crawl and 5K is Saturday, September 16, 2017, to benefit Andresen Nature Center and the Early American Crafters of Heritage Canyon. The Zombie 5K will start at the Robert Fulton Community Center beginning at 3:00 p.m. and be followed by the Zombie Crawl at 4:00 at Heritage Canyon. Parking for this event will be located at the RFCC or the Fulton Corp Parking lot, located at 8th Avenue and 3rd Street. A shuttle bus will pick-up and drop-off in the north parking lot at the RFCC.
The goal for these events is to produce funds that aide in continued programming and operations of each organization, so they may help grow our community.
This year’s event will feature a zombie pre-event tailgate party at the Robert Fulton Community Center.
- Holly’s Dogs will prepare a special Zombie Dog for the event.
- The Magic Girls, fortune-tellers, will be there to “help” you on your journey to Heritage Canyon.
- Marlena Midnight, TV and radio personality, will be on hand to talk to people about her show “Midnight Mausoleum.”
- Zombies from Skellington Manor will be roaming Heritage Canyon.
Individuals wishing to participate in the Zombie Crawl or the 5K can visit The City of Fulton website (www.cityoffulton.us) to print a registration form or register online at www.getmeregistered.com.

Preregistration for any participant wishing to do both the 5K and the crawl is $25 and $30 on race day.
Runners are welcome to dress up as zombies, but they are asked to wear the Zombie Crawl/5K t-shirt if they wish to participate in the Crawl within Heritage Canyon. Individuals completing the course are challenged the task of visiting five checkpoints within the Canyon and collecting a token from each station. Zombies will roam through the canyon seeking “health flags” that participants receive upon check-in. Participants must return tokens and any remaining health flags upon check-in at the Andresen Nature Center to be classified and entered to win prizes.
