  • 10/30 HuskyTHON Presents: ZombieTHON

    HuskyTHON, New England’s largest student-run philanthropy and 18-hour dance marathon at the University of Connecticut, returns with the fourth annual ZombieTHON, a 2.5 mile fun run this Sunday, October 30th. As a fundraising event for HuskyTHON 2017, ZombieTHON will help boost the final total which all will be donated to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. HuskyTHON has paired up with UConn Recreation to host a “Zombie Run” that creates a friendly competitive race where zombies will chase humans along a 2.5-mile path. As a human, your goal is to make it to the finish-line without coming into contact with any zombies who are trying to steal your “lifelines” (capture-the-flag belts). Zombies are encouraged to moan, growl and hiss while chasing the humans! Who will make it out alive?

    WHEN: Sunday, October 30th. Race begins 3pm. Check in for runners: 2pm
    WHERE: Ratcliffe Hicks Building and Arena, 1376 Storrs Road, Unit 4090, Storrs CT
