The Run For Your Life 5k Series
The Run For Your Life 5k Series is an interactive themed event located in Fairborn, Ohio. This event offers a unique twist on a standard race by simulating a zombie apocalypse scenario where participants choose between two distinct roles.
Participants can register for the following options:
- The Run For Your Life 5k: A 3.1 mile course for those playing the role of Survivors.
- The Zombie Experience: A non-running role for those acting as the undead.
Survivors navigate the course wearing a flag football belt. The route contains clearly marked "infected zones" where Zombies are stationed. The goal for Survivors is to reach the safe zone at the finish line with their flags intact. If a Zombie captures a flag, the runner is considered "infected" but is still permitted to finish the race.
Zombies do not run the full course but remain within their designated infected zones. Their primary objective is to capture flags from passing Survivors. Participants in this category are encouraged to wear costumes and creative makeup.
All runners who complete the 5k distance receive a finisher medal, regardless of whether they finish the race with their flags or become "infected" during the event. The course is designed to be accessible for various speeds and focuses on the interactive experience between the two groups of participants.
