The Dead Run 5K is an apocalyptic survival experience. You're not racing against a clock. You're running for your life through woods filled with starving zombies lurking around every corner! Can you survive?
Before the race, you will be given a flag belt with three flags. These flags represent your life. The zombies want to take your flags and maybe devour you.
The woods are filled with zombies. They will chase you and try to eat you — but mainly go after your life flags. Avoid the zombies to keep your flags and stay alive!
Use speed, strategy and your delicious brains to make it to the FINISH LINE “alive” with at least ONE FLAG INTACT. If you finish with zero flags, the zombies have infected you.
There is only one route through the woods and obstacles that are heavily infested with the infected dead. You have to find your way through the terror that lies between you and the finish line to survive.
