This was brought to my attention by my friend Courtney:
Run For Your Lives is an apocalyptic 5K obstacle race. But you’re not just running against the 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 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.
WHAT YOU’RE UP AGAINST
- Throughout the 5K obstacle race, there will be a series of man-made and natural obstacles for you to complete. Runners may choose NOT to complete an obstacle, BUT any runner who skips an obstacle will not be eligible for prizes.
- 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 (or a health bonus pack). If you finish with zero health flags, this means the zombies have successfully transformed you into the “undead”; your time will be recorded, but you will not be eligible for awards.
And just think -- we can all go out to a movie together afterwards. Have the first full-cast review. I mean, am I right or what?

and, please try to ignore the fact that it'll be in Massachusetts five months earlier.
That's the most awesome thing I've ever heard. Even if the east coast jerks can't make it we must participate Fitty!
That sounds SO awesome!! I doubt I can make it to the West Coast, but maybe I'll attempt the one in MA. Great find!!
YES!! I signed up for this months ago! Can't wait!!!
We should meet up - whoever's doing it!
I wanna do it! I am already getting practice with Zack's nightly trike ride to the park. I have to run to keep up and keep all the driveways clear ahead of him.
Wow! This sounds like a great time. Let's make plans DCD.
