Survivors…
If you’re hearing this, you’ve made it further than most.
Week after week, you’ve fought through the chaos. You’ve outrun the infected. You’ve carried messages, secured supplies, and never backed down.
And now… it all comes down to this.
Thanks to your bravery, we successfully recovered the blood supply. Our scientists have worked around the clock—and we have incredible news:
The cure works.
But we’re not safe yet.
The infected still roam the zone, and time is running out.
FINAL MISSION:
Transport the cure through the last remaining infected territory and deliver it to Fairborn Community Park, the ground zero of Run Ohio Races Headquarters.
There, we will mass distribute the cure and put an end to the outbreak… once and for all.
⚠️ Be warned:
The infected are more aggressive than ever
The path will test your endurance, speed, and teamwork
This is our last chance
Failure is not an option.
♀️ Run fast. Stay together. Survive.
Because tonight…
we take back our world.

Presented by Run Ohio Races LLC
Are you fast enough to survive the zombie apocalypse?
Join Run Ohio Races LLC for The Run For Your Life, a thrilling, interactive running event where survival is the ultimate goal! This isn’t just a race — it’s a test of speed, strategy, and nerves.
How It Works
Participants can choose to register as either a Survivor or a Zombie:
Survivors
Survivors will run the course wearing a flag football belt.
Along the route, infected zones will be clearly marked on the course map.
Zombies may be lurking in these zones, ready to grab your flags!
If you reach the safe zone at the finish line with all your flags intact, you officially survive the zombie apocalypse.
Lose one or more flags? You’ve been infected… but you still finish the race!
Zombies
Zombies do not run the course.
Their mission is to stay within designated infected zones and try to capture flags from Survivors.
Costumes and creative zombie looks are highly encouraged!
Finisher Rewards
All runners receive a finisher medal, whether you survive or get infected.
Bragging rights included!
️ Course Details
The course will feature clearly marked infected zones.
Zombies are restricted to these zones to keep the event safe and fun for everyone.
