What You Get / What's Included:

Course Description:
There will be a start line, and a finish line, but what happens in between is up to you. There are multiple routes to reach the finish. Choose wisely, or your 5k might turn into a 10k.
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 die. And the zombies win.
Health bonuses will be hidden throughout the course. If you find one and carry it to the finish, it will save your life.
There will be 12 man-made and natural obstacles that will be physically challenging, but not impossible. There will be mud, water and maybe some blood. You will need to climb, crawl, duck and dive your way to the finish line.
Oh, and there will be a bunch of flesh-starved undead on your tail.
Participants who cannot or choose not to finish an obstacle will be able to finish the race, but his/her time will be posted as "Zombie," and he/she will not be eligible for awards.
