Peninsula College’s annual 5k Zombie Mud Run and obstacle course features challenges for participants of all ages.
The fourth-annual event is set for Saturday, May 5, on the Peninsula College Port Angeles campus, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd, Port Angeles.
“You do not have to be, ‘in it to win it,’ to enter these races. Simply, come enjoy a day of challenging obstacles, crawling through the mud and running away from the undead,” said Jeremiah Johnson, assistant athletic director and activities coordinator.
“Some of this year’s obstacles include our 14-foot-high climbing wall, Zombie-infested forests, mud pits, a water tank, crawls, over-unders and our signature 65-foot water slide to the finish line.”
The adult course consists of seven zombie zones and 12 challenging obstacles.
