Do You Think You Could Survive a 5K Zombie Obstacle Course?

Humor Zombie about 12 years agoby Billy Fisher

Here's an epic gem of awesomeness we came across today. For all of you in the Baltimore area, or anyone who thinks they have the stones to survive a zombie obstacle course, this is for you. Runforyourlife.com is putting together a 5K Zombie Obstacle Course. If this the initial go round is successful they will bring the course to the rest of the United States, maybe the world. Here is some info for all of you who are interested.

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 12 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 with at least ONE FLAG INTACT. If you finish with zero health flags, your time will be recorded, but you will not be eligible for awards

I have to say, this sounds like fun. I would totally do this. I know there might never be a time where you have to square off against real zombies, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Let us know what you think.
