Zombie
Zombie
You have been infected by the living dead virus. Your instinct is to eat human flesh.
You need to feed on humans before they can get to safety! This is your food. You need food to survive.
BUT… beware, humans try to get rid of Zombies!
If you complete your 5K run/walk with at least one "life flag", you will be labeled as a well fed and content zombie--way less dangerous than other zombies.
If you fail to complete your 5k with at least one "life flag", you will be labeled as a starving zombie--way more dangerous than other zombies.
Human (Zombie Hunter)
Human (Zombie Hunter)
You are among the few human survivors in Trumbull County. Your mission is to get back to the “Tiger Safety Zone” which is 5 km away without being infected so you can save humanity!
Planted Zombies can be hidden or be in plain sight and will attempt to feed on humans, but they can't run.
Beware though... some fellow contestants are Zombies too and they will try to "feed" on you too!
Humans must complete a 5 km run/walk with at least one "life flag" in order to arrive at the “Tiger Safety Zone” and be labeled a survivor-otherwise... you too will become a ZOMBIE!
Other Fun:
Selfie Station
Music
Zombie Workout
Snacks
GAMES:

General Race Rules:
All humans and zombies must sign a race waiver.
All participants must be 12 years or older on race day or accompanied by a ticketed participating adult. (for those under 18 we will need a signed waiver from a guardian)
You are not to hit, punch, tackle, claw, pinch, spit on, bite, or do anything harmful to the physical health of zombies or human runners. All in violation of this rule will be escorted off the grounds without a refund. Those in violation may also be prosecuted depending on the severity of the act.
You may not participate under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If suspected, you will be disqualified from participating and removed from the school grounds without a refund.
All humans, and race zombies must wear their race bib.
You may not pick up flags off the ground.
You must wear a flag belt and the flag belt must be visible (not hidden under clothing.

You may not take another human's flags.
You are not allowed to grab more than one flag from any one Zombie.
You must have at least one flag to steal a zombie’s flag. If you can make it to the next checkpoint, and have collected at least one zombie flag, you may turn in a zombie flag and earn a bonus flag (life).
If you lose all of your flags (lives), you have been infected. You may no longer collect zombie flags. If you can make it to the next checkpoint (will be required to walk to checkpoint), and have collected at least one zombie flag, you may turn in a zombie flag for "medical treatment" and earn a bonus flag (life). If you have no flags, at a checkpoint, you will be labeled a Zombie and will now take on the persona of a zombie and must turn in any collected zombie flags and you will now need to attempt collection of human flags (lives).

Frequently Asked Questions:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to run?
No. You may walk. This is a fun event. You do not have to stress your body out with running. You can also opt for the virtual run and we won't even know if you don't do it at all...
Is this a timed race?
No. This is more of a fun run or game, so no timing is provided. You are however welcome to time yourself.
What if it rains?
The Zombie Run is rain or shine. Be prepared to participate in the rain. A little rain has not stopped us in the past and zombies do not care or even notice the rain so...
Do I have to sign a waiver?
All registrants must sign a copy of the race waiver in order to participate. (Those under 18 will need a parent to sign their waiver.)
Should I dress up?
Yes! That makes it more enjoyable! You might also win best costume! Just remember that no weapons or weapon simulants are allowed as thissi will be on school property.
Are there refunds if I can not attend?
Unfortunately, no. Unless we cancel the event, there will be no refunds. This is a fundraiser and registration fees are used in purchasing items for the event.
