The rUNDEAD Zombie 5K Survival Run
The rUNDEAD is a 5k trail run through the State Park where runners are trying to escape hungry zombies. Each runner will start off with a flag belt and three flags. These flags represent your lifelines. Zombies throughout the course will be attempting to take these one at a time. If you lose all three, you're dead and the zombies have won.
All ages are welcome. There will be two flights for runners - a competitive flight "Fast Food" and a non-competitive flight "All You Can Eat."
Pre-registration cost for runners is $30, $35 day of. Each runner will receive access to the curse, race day festivities and an official rUNDEAD race day t-shirt. Runners can sign up as indiviiduals or as teams.

The cost to be a zombie is $15 pre-registered or $20 day of. Each zombie receives their official transformation, a rUNDEAD race t-shirt, participation in race day festivities and the thrill of the chase.
