About the Run For Your Life 1Mile/ 5k/10k / 15k Series- The Outbreak
The course is a paved out-and-back road route with clearly marked infected zones spread along the way. Runners wear flag football belts, and zombies stationed in those zones try to grab your flags as you pass through. Reach the finish with your flags still on and you survive. Lose one and you are infected, but you still finish.
Participants register as either a runner or a zombie, so you can recruit friends to lurk on course while you race past them. Costumes are encouraged for the zombie side. Several distance options are available, and the longer the distance, the more infected zones you run through.
