Zombie Run Sponsors
The Hyattsville Zombie Run isn't just a race — it's one of the most beloved community traditions along the Route 1 corridor, and it runs entirely on the generosity of sponsors like you.
Now in its 11th year, the Zombie Run brings together over 1,300 runners, families, and neighbors each October to raise money that goes directly to local schools. In 2025 alone, the race raised approximately $48,000 — funding field trips, community programs, teacher appreciation, and school beautification projects at 15 schools across the Hyattsville area.
Your sponsorship puts your brand in front of a highly engaged, community-minded audience while making a real difference for local kids.
