Join Columbus Rotary at historic Green Lawn Cemetery as we attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the most people dressed like ghosts during the 6th annual Walking with the Dead 5k Fun Run & 1-Mile Walk. Beer garden, costume prizes, ghost tours and fun for the whole family will be at this just-spooky-enough event. Sponsored by Green Lawn Cemetery, Thunderwing Brewing, and Jones Lumber.
Gargoyles! Moats! Monuments! Scenic Paths! And then there’s the famous Central Ohioans who reside in Green Lawn. Among them: several Ohio governors, Columbus Mayors, Famous Artists and Musicians, WWI Flying Ace Eddie Rickenbacker, and scores of Civil War Generals and vets are just a few of the souls who call Green Lawn home. The scenic course will take you past many of the monuments recognizing the final resting place of many heroes.
All racers 21+ get a drink ticket good for a beer from Thunderwing Brewing.
Dress up the entire family and yourself in your most ghoulish outfit and come out for this fun event.
The 5k and 1-mile run or walk is organized on behalf of the Columbus Rotary Foundation and the Green Lawn Cemetery Association and helps to support the care and maintenance of Green Lawn Cemetery.
