3,500 STRONG. 💀🫶

What started as an idea to put on a different kind of trail race has turned into something way bigger than we ever imagined.

More races. More trails. More ridiculous ideas. And now 3,500 of you following along for the ride.

To everyone who has run with us, volunteered, crewed, shared a post, bought a shirt, told a friend, or just followed along — thank you!!!

We’re proud of what Zombie Trail Races has become.

But we’re even more excited about where it’s going.

3,500 strong. We’re just getting started.

🧟 LIVE FREE. RUN UNDEAD.

🧟 THANK YOU, ZOMBIES!

Another Zombie Backyard Ultra is in the books, and we can’t say thank you enough to everyone who made this weekend unforgettable!!

To the runners — thank you for showing up, pushing your limits, and coming back to that starting line hour after hour. Seeing so many familiar faces and repeat runners makes us incredibly proud and grateful!

To the crews — thank you for the food, the gear, the encouragement, the middle-of-the-night problem solving, and for keeping your runners moving when they weren’t sure they had another yard in them!

And to our volunteers (Sean Dameron, Logan Cook, John Porterfield, Rachael Hutchens Nichols, Kinsley Dill and kiddos, Amy Stone, David Eastman, and anyone we’ve failed to mention— you are truly the class of our trail family. We appreciate every single one of you!

Last but not certainly not least, thank you to the greatest state park in the 🌎, Oak Mountain State Park! You’ve been the best, most accommodating hosts since ‘21 and we cannot begin to tell you how much that means to us!

We had a record field this year, with runners from 8 states and 2 countries, and watching this event continue to grow while still feeling like one big family reunion is pretty special.

Thank you for spending your weekend with us at Zombie Backyard Ultra.

Can’t wait to see you back in the corral next year.⏳💀

❤️- your friendly neighborhood Zombies

🐻ARTHUR’S ARMY JUST GOT A LITTLE BIGGER!

We are so excited to announce that we’ve added a new 10K option to Arthur’s Army 5K and Fun Run!

The new 10K will follow the same route as our Moonlight Mile 10K — including a trip up the infamous Crack in the Wall — giving runners another way to be part of an event that means a whole lot more than miles.

Arthur’s Army is a chance for our trail running community to come together, run in Arthur’s memory, and support a cause that means so much to families all around the world.

Whether you run the 5K, take on the new 10K, or join us for the Fun Run, every person on that starting line is part of something bigger.
