Families fend off “zombies” and help the local cause during Zombie Invasion SLO

On Saturday, Camp San Luis Obispo hosted its annual Zombie Invasion SLO – an event where families fended off “zombies” by completing a 1-mile or 5K race.

The event was organized by the Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center, which designed the Zombie Invasion to be family-friendly and completely adjustable based on the preferences of its participants.

“If you’re wondering if you should do the event next year and come race with us, you definitely should,” Carly Spears, the center’s executive director, told KSBY. “It all goes to a good cause and it’s a fun day to stay active and get your family outside.”

Organizers say proceeds from today’s event will go to the Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center.
