The Zombie 5K: Run for Your Lives

Posted on August 4, 2011 in Outtakes | No Comments

Run For Your Lives is a 5k obstacle course race where you are chased by volunteer zombies coming to Maryland on October 22, 2011.

If you love zombies and running (I’m looking at you, Stacy Conradt), you’ll love this: marathon through the woods while being actively chased by volunteer zombies. If that’s your thing (and I think for a lot of you it might be), then you need to be in Baltimore this October.

This Baltimore event is called Run For Your Lives, which sounds about right. Runners will wear flags (which represent life) while jumping and leaping over obstacles throughout a 5K course (unless you get lost, that is) while zombies chase them down and try to rip off their “life.” If you cross the finish line without any remaining flags, you’re dead (and ineligible for the prizes at the end of the race). Don’t want to run? Don’t worry! You can sign up just to partake in the fun afterparty and live music fiesta after the race!
