Events for March 2012
Run For Your Lives
Durhamtown Plantation
March 3rd
Run for Your Lives, will take participants through a series of obstacles over a 5K course, all while being chased by zombies. Racers, wearing a flag football-like belt with three flags, must make strategic choices to find the quickest route to the finish line with at least one flag to complete the race as a survivor. Survivors and newly-created “zombies” – those who finish without flags – will be able to celebrate following the event at the Apocalypse Party, which will feature live, local entertainment, music, vendors, food, beverages, and of course, zombies. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will be onsite to educate the public about preparedness in case of emergency or zombie invasion. For tips on how to prepare for a zombie apocalypse in advance of the race, visit the CDC’s website.
