The rescue squad asked the entire local community to get involved with the event, calling for those living along the race route to decorate the area or cheer on the runners.
“The main event was to sponsor the Humboldt Area Rescue Squad. We’re an all volunteer rescue squad with about 45 members. The main things was just getting us a fundraiser that we can just come together as a community and work together,” said Erica Dolan, Chair of Humboldt Area Rescue Squad Zombie 5K.
