Race Rules
Race Rules:
1. Punching, kicking, shoving of zombies is not allowed. Sure, the zombies look real, and sure are scary, but these are people here to have fun as you are. Runners who violate this rule will be disqualified.
2.Your flag belt is to remain visible at all times. Runners who attempt to hide their belts may be disqualified. Let’s keep it fair folks! Your flag belt will have 3 flags on it. Wear it so that one is on each hip, and one is behind you.
Can I get extra lifes?
Yes! For every $100.00 you fundraise you get 1 life flag-to a maxium of 5 life flags.
3. Runners must wear their racing bibs clearly and visibly on the front of their shirt/attire. If we can’t see your bib, you can’t run the race.
4. In the event that all your health flags have been removed by zombies, you are free to complete the race. This is not a license to begin taking other runners flags – Sure you’ve been infected, but you’re not a zombie yet! (Why rush it?)
5. Runners must be at least 14 years of age by race day
6. No weapons are allowed on the premises. For the safety and peace of mind of all present, this includes replica weapons as well!
If you make it to the finish line with at least one health flag, you are a Zombie Race Survivalist!
Zombie Rules
Zombies are only permitted to pull runners flags.
Any direct and intentional contact (biting, hitting, tripping, grabbing, pushing, etc) with a runner will result in the zombie’s removal from the race.
Zombies are not allowed to pull more than one flag from each runner.
Runners who are waiting in line at an obstacle are immune to the zombie infection, you may not pull their flags. Feel free to scare and taunt them, just make sure to leave their flags alone.
Zombies must follow any commands given by race officials, organizers and/or event staff. Failure to comply with commands can result in a zombies removal from the race. Don’t be that zombie!
All zombies must be 14 years of age or older by the day of the race to participate.
Zombies must sign in and sign out at the Zombie Transformation Chamber, Zombies must come fully in costume and ready for inspection by 1:30pm race day!
If you need to use the restroom, please use the designated restrooms before you start the race. Please do not pee or poop on the course.
