A minor zombie outbreak took place on Saturday as the Hampton-Dumont 5th and 6th grade football program organized the “Run of the Walking Dead.”

     Starting out like a typical 5K run, the race began at the Hampton-Dumont Middle School building. The course took runners around Hampton’s northeast neighborhood and over to the Rolling Prairie Trail before circling back to the school.

     However, there were perils to avoid on this race. Each of the participants wore two strips of caution tape at their sides to serve as flags. At several points along the course the middle school football team, dressed up as zombies, lay in wait to ambush the runners and collect their flags.
