Course Description:
Run For Your Lives will be returning to Baltimore, MD in 2014! We will be hosting THREE EVENTS at Blob's Park, in Jessup, MD, giving you three separate chances to participate in Run For Your Lives next summer.
Run For Your Lives is the world’s first interactive zombie-infested
obstacle race experience. But you’re not just running against the clock —
you’re running from brain-hungry, virus-spreading, zombies. 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 are infected with the zombie virus, and the zombies win.
Health bonuses will be hidden throughout the course. In these health
packs will be extra flags. Take the flags and carry them to the finish
line, but leave the health pack, it doesn’t count as a flag.
There will be a series of man-made and natural obstacles that will be
physically challenging, but not impossible. The obstacles will test your
strength, speed and the cooperation between you and your fellow hopeful
survivors. Work as a team. 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. Our obstacles are designed to help runners escape the zombies’ clutches, so skipping an obstacle may not be in your best favor. Runners may choose NOT to
complete an obstacle, BUT any runner who skips an obstacle will not have
truly survived the apocalypse.
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 a solid group of your closest allies to make it
to the FINISH LINE “alive” with at least ONE FLAG INTACT (or a health
bonus pack). If you finish with zero health flags, this means the
zombies have successfully transformed you into the “undead.”
Aid Stations:
Course officials and medical staff will be present during the entire event. If you get hurt, our highly trained EMT staff will work swiftly to patch you up. Most courses will have water station.
Awards:
Awards for the top 3 male and female in each age bracket

In order to qualify for placement within any division, you will need to cross the finish line with at least one health flag intact, or be in posession of a health bonus.

Direct physical contact (pulling, grabbing, pushing, striking, etc.) between zombies and runners will not be permitted. Do not taunt the zombies with your brains– that’s just plain mean.
