The Zombie Run
Zombie Run
City Park
Sunday, July 28, 2013
Cost:Individual: $50, Team: $45 (per runner), Zombie: $30
We hope you’re a morning person, because the post apocalyptic playground you’re about to brave offers no protection. At the starting line, you’ll come across a flipped tanker, the source of the toxic compound. After the first kilometer, you’ll enter into a military-controlled apocalypse zone. Beware, this is where your dash from zombies will begin. Around kilometer 3, you’ll make it to a vaccination hydration center. The vaccine will fail, and you’ll have to continue to sprint from zombies. The last 2 kilometers are a free-for-all, as you charge towards freedom. Zombies are everywhere. Helicopters circle overhead and military personnel distribute facemasks for safety during your final steps.Runners have the option of wearing a custom, latex free “life-balloon”. Our brain hungry zombies will try to pop your balloon and take your life before your reach the finish line. But if you’re not fast, don’t worry! Our course is designed like a zombie movie set, so if you don’t wear your balloon or survive the race, you’ll still have a spooky run. Dead or alive, all runners get to complete the entire course and attend the Quarantine Party.

The Ugly Sweater Run is an event for ALL AGES. If you want to wear spandex under your sweater and race fast, that’s cool, but you’re missing the point. If you’ve never run a 5k before, this is a great way to burn some calories before slamming hot chocolate and Winter Lager.
The run is approximately 3.1 miles long on city streets. Runners and walkers dress up in their worst holiday sweaters, maybe have some holiday drinks before lining up at the start line. The start line will have snow machines, reindeer games and awesome holiday music. Once you’re on the course, you’ll find holiday themed aide stations every mile – EG – Sled hills (weather permitting), Hot Chocolate aide stations, Christmas Trees
lining the streets and more snow (Yes, even you Las Vegas, we’re bringing the snow!)
Strollers and dogs are welcome!
After you’ve completed your 3.1 jog (sounds like yawg, it’s a new thing that people are doing now, yawgging), join us at the post run festivities. Awards for best real mustache, best fake mustache, best beard, worst sweater, best sweater and general amazing holiday fun. Oh yea,Sam Adams will be pouring adult beverages for the oldies and the kiddos can get all hopped up on Hot Chocolate.
We ask that every participant brings a new toy to donate under our huge Christmas Tree (yes, we just said Christmas Tree. If you can find us a ‘Holiday’ Tree to buy, shoot us an email). All toys will be donated following the run to Toys For Tots.
