ST. LOUIS: Check Out This 5K Run – ‘ZOMBIE DEATH DASH’

UPDATE: The Zombie Death Dash has been cancelled for this weekend. Here is the email I received:

Please be advised that the Zombie Death Dash scheduled for this Saturday, October 26 has been CANCELED. We are working on a possible alternate date in the future and we will notify you when we have further details to announce.

Until then, we will be issuing full refunds for all registered participants, including both runners and zombies, within the next 24 hours.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Look, I’ll admit it, I’d probably be the first one out. I’m not in shape and I’m an asthmatic so my chances of surviving even a trial run like Zombie Death Dash is slim. However, if you want to give it a shot, we have all the details down below on how to participate! Also, we got a code to give you 50% off your tickets!

Zombie Death Dash is a 5K adventure run in rugged, muddy terrain that will take you through seemingly abandoned trails and challenging obstacles – all while Zombies are chasing you and trying to eat your brains! Make your way through mud, water, possibly blood, brains and lots of Zombies while you climb, swing, slide, crawl and navigate your way to safety…without being turned into a Zombie first!

Run a 5K course in rugged, muddy terrain that takes you through old, seemingly abandoned trails and challening opbstacles all while dodging zombies looking for food. You will be given 2 ‘life flags’ (on a belt like in flag football) at the start of race and if you have any left at the finish line you have survived without being turned into a Zombie. If you are attacked by Zombies and they take all of your life flags you have been turned into a Zombie. Don’t worry – you will still get to enjoy the post-party.

The race will consist of waves of about 250 people released in 30 minute increments. You will choose your wave when you register.

This course can be as challenging as you make it. You can always skip obstacles, just don’t let the Zombie grab your ‘life flags!’ The best way to survive the course and fight off the Zombies is in groups so we encourage you to bring friends…and see who makes it out alive!
