Zombie Run 10K & 5K

The Zombie Run 10K & 5K returns to Sandringham in New South Wales on Saturday, October 24th, 2026. This fun Halloween-themed event offers a unique running experience with zombie pacers chasing participants through the streets of Sandringham.
Race morning finds runners gathering at Victoria Park, located near the intersection of Main Road and King Street. The park is known for its lush green spaces and walking paths, making it an ideal venue for this themed run. Participants can expect to feel the crisp autumn air as they navigate the course through the neighborhood, with landmarks like the historic Sandringham Railway Station nearby.
This event has been a staple in the local community since 2015, having attracted thousands of participants each year who come not only to chase their personal bests but also to support the cause. The Zombie Run raises funds for local charities and scholarships, making it more than just an exciting race—it's a way to contribute positively to the community.
The course offers both a 10K Zombie Fun Run and a 5K Zombie Dash, each with its own unique challenge of beating zombie pacers. These distances are perfect for runners aiming to push their limits or families looking for a fun Halloween outing.
Participants will start at Victoria Park, facing a mix of urban streets and park paths. The course features notable route highlights such as the historical railway station and the serene Lake Sandringham. At approximately 10 kilometers, the longer distance offers more challenging terrain with slight elevation changes but remains on well-maintained surfaces for safety.
Weather conditions in October typically range from a minimum of 13.7°C to a maximum of 24.3°C, feeling quite comfortable at around 19°C. The average wind speed is 13.4 km/h, which can make running slightly more challenging but should not deter participants from enjoying the event.
