Frightfully Fun October planned with City of Norman Parks & Recreation

The community is welcome to join the City of Norman's Parks and Recreation Department for a fun-filled October with two family-friendly Halloween events this month.

 

OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT

Visit Lions Park on 10/14/22 for a not-so-spooky Outdoor Movie Night with free admission and activities beginning at 7 p.m.. The film Hocus Pocus will start at sundown. Psycho Taco food truck, 405 Brewery, and Beanstalk Sno Cones will offer delicious refreshments on site.

 

ZOMBIE RUN & FUN

The heart-pounding inaugural “Zombie Run: 5K, 1 Mile Dash, and Dance!” is slated for 10/29/22 at Ruby Grant Park, 4343 NW 36th Avenue. Participants will run, jump and crawl their way through the zombie-infested forest. A 1-mile fun run will also offer stations for candy and fun Halloween games. The evening concludes with a spooky Halloween dance featuring a live DJ, refreshments, a candy hunt, and a costume contest at the Ruby Grant Park Playground Pavilion.

 

  • The race will begin at 6:30 p.m., with the dance following immediately after until 9 p.m. Runners will need a light source for the run.

 

  • There are three categories to the costume contest: Most Original, Best Duo/Group, and Best Overall.

 

  • Runners 21 and up will get a frighteningly refreshing beer after the race, courtesy of Nompton Social. Beer, wine, and seltzers will be available for purchase at the dance.

 

Tickets are $30 each for a timed 5K and dance; tickets are $22 each for an untimed 5K or 1-Mile Dash and Dance. With the purchase of an adult registration, one child under 10 can join for free. Additional children are $15 each. Tickets are still available at https://runsignup.com/Race/OK/Norman/ZombieRun5Kand1MileDashandDance. 

Participants should sign up by 10/19/22 to be guaranteed a shirt.
