NORMAN, OK — The 2025 Run for Your Life 5K, part of the popular Zombie Run series, is turning heads this Halloween season with a medal that offers not one, but two surprises — it changes color under sunlight and glows in the dark.
Designed and produced by X T-shirt, the medal captures the event’s spooky spirit from dawn to dusk. In daylight, the jack-o’-lantern design transforms from pale white to a deep pumpkin orange under UV light. When night falls, the eerie green glow brings the haunted theme alive — perfectly matching the race’s chilling, playful energy.
“We wanted to create something that evolves with the race — from the starting line in sunlight to the after-dark celebration,” said Ryan Zhu, founder of X T-shirt. “The color-changing and glow effects make this medal more than just a keepsake — it’s a living part of the Halloween experience.”
Every detail, from the bat silhouettes to the haunted-house ribbon, was tailored to echo the Run for Your Life theme. The result is a finisher medal that feels both festive and mysterious — a reward runners will love showing off long after the race.
The Run for Your Life 5K will take place on October 18, 2025, in Norman, Oklahoma, inviting participants to embrace the fun and fright of the season.
