ROCKINGHAM – The Richmond Senior High School Marching Band is daring those brave enough to attempt to outrun the tricks and treats of Halloween in its Zombie 5K run.
Set at Hinson Lake on Wednesday, October 25, interested runners may begin registering at 4:30 p.m. The official race is slated to start at 5:30 p.m.
