The spooky season is almost upon us. You know what that means? RUN!!!
When? Saturday, Oct. 18. Registration opens at 9:30 a.m. The race begins at 10 a.m.
Where? Outside Bustad Hall on the Pullman campus.
Join us for the WSU Student American Veterinary Medical Association’s (SAVMA) Annual 5K Rabies Run, a fundraiser and “zombie run” that support the WSU Rabies Free Africa campaign.
Who can run? Anyone! Bring your friends, family, and kids! But for the safety of the volunteers, zombies, and other runners, no animals are allowed at the event.
Why? This event promotes public awareness about how rabies and other dangerous diseases can be prevented by having pets regularly vaccinated. There will be handouts and signage at the event about rabies prevention in the United States, as well as around the world. All proceeds from the event will be directly donated to the Rabies Free Africa campaign which provides vaccinations to dogs in east Africa with the hope of eradicating rabies entirely.
What to expect. The 5K Rabies Run features a “zombie loop” where vet students and volunteers dressed as zombies will try to steal your flags! Runners who enter the loop can wear a capture-the-flag belt and must dodge zombies to keep as many “lives” as possible. Each flag you bring back to the registration desk earns tickets for a gift basket drawing. Extra tickets are also awarded for costumes, so dress up and join us for a spooky, fun event for the WSU and Pullman community!
How to sign up or donate! A completed registration form is required for all participants.
