How It Works

Zombie Run is an apocalyptic immersive experience. You are not running against a 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.

  

WHAT YOU’RE UP AGAINST

There will be zombies. Their job is to chase 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. If you finish with zero health flags, this means the zombies have successfully transformed you into the “undead”. 

HOW YOU’LL DO IT

 There will be a start line, and a finish line, and the opportunity to avoid Zombies in between.
