1.0/5
Course: 2.0/5
Organization: 1.0/5
Not a good experience!

This was the most disorganized event! Only had 2 make-up artists (not everyone was able to get make-up), run started early so everyone was scrambling, zombies didn't have guidance on where to go, no first aid, no water given out, award ceremony was not as stated...nothing for most flags for runners or zombies, DJ but no after party, no snacks, A LOT of cheating. Their site did claim to do/have many of these things: http://www.5krundead.com/faq.html
