Community members and SKIES dancers move to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” during a choreographed flash mob at the closing ceremony for the Red Ribbon Run Zombie Run Oct. 19 on Sembach Kaserne in Kaiserslautern. This 5K run is an annual event sponsored by U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz.

This year’s 5K run was paired with a Halloween theme — zombies. Many people got into character, sporting ghoulish face paint and torn clothes.

A family brings their dog with them to the 5K Red Ribbon Zombie Run. At least one cat also attended. The event kicked off next to the Sembach Community Activity Center. After runners and walkers registered, they received a T-shirt that said “Never High, Always Fly.”

Families take part in fun activities, including a haunted house, mask making, make your own zombie T-shirt and pumpkin decorating.
