This is the most fun you'll ever have at a fun run. Family entertainment at it's best, but also a great challenge for athletes! Navigate obstacles, including three giant inflatables, crawl through mud, run through foam, and try to outrun zombies lurking in zombie zones throughout a 2-mile course. You'll pick up flags along the way - and the zombies will try to take them. Finish "alive" with a flag, and win a medal. If you're one of the walking dead, duck into the first aid tent for a zombie antidote to finish alive and win a medal.
