Sprint to Survive, Try to Stay Alive 5K Zombie Fun Run/Walk Race Description

Zombie Run is an apocalyptic 5K immersive experience. You are not running against a clock — you’re running from brain-hungry, virus-spreading, bloody zombies.

 

BASIC SURVIVAL

 

Before the race, you will be given a flag belt, just like the overly intimidating game of flag football. These flags represent your health.

  • The zombies want to take your flags and maybe eat your brains.

  • If you lose all your health flags, you will receive "Infected" status at the finish line.

  • If you finish with a flag, you will receive  "Survivor" status at the finish line. Yea! 

WHAT YOU’RE UP AGAINST

 There will be zombies. Their job is to chase you and eat you — but mainly go after your health, in the form of your flag belt. Avoid the zombies to keep your health flags.

Use speed, strategy and your intact brains to make it to the FINISH LINE “alive” with at least ONE FLAG INTACT. If you finish with zero health flags, this means the zombies have successfully transformed you into the “undead”.  Finish the run but receive "Infected" award at the finish line.  

 

HOW YOU’LL DO IT

There will be a start and a finish line, and the opportunity to avoid Zombies in between. You may run, crawl, climb, and do anything possible to get past the  zombies with your health flags intact.  DISCLAIMER: you may NOT cause our zombies any physical harm (Come on they are already dead after all #haveaheart!)

 

COSTUMES ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED FOR BOTH ZOMBIES AND RACERS!
