Traverse City Zombie Run: October 31

Join us for the seventh annual Traverse City Zombie Run on Halloween October 31, 2015. 

The Zombie Run has become a Traverse City Halloween tradition. What's not to like? Zombies and beer have always been a winning combination.

Over the years we have seen zombies from all walks of life, or should I say death. There have been Elvis zombies,Village People zombies, and even zombie Girl Scouts. Who will show up this year? The only thing we never saw was someone not having a good time! Right Brain Brewery will host the Zombie Run once again this year. The run wouldn't be the same without our friends at the Brain, get it?

Stick around after the race for the beer will be flowing, who says you can't drink before noon? Besides, you’re already dead anyway!
