Today, September 30th, is the last day to register at a discount for the 3rd Annual Zombie 5K Getaway which gets underway at Riverside Park in Brownwood on October 24th from 5-8 PM. Those registered by the end of the day may enter for just $20 per person.
The Zombie 5K Getaway is the premier Central Texas’ Zombie run, according to organizers, and the public is invited to participate. All of the proceeds benefit the Brown County United Way.
This zombie run is a 5k fun run where human runners are trying to “survive” the zombies chasing after them. The race will be chip timed by Race Day Event Services. In addition to the zombie runners, there will also be zombie roamers in an assigned area, who are slower, but provide interference for the zombie runners, and may even pick up a few human lives as well. With both runners and roamers, anyone and everyone can participate.
Human runners, try to avoid the zombies, and get a 3 minute head start over the zombie runners, while challenged with dodging the zombie roamers. Human runners will wear a survival belt with 3 flags on it, with the goal of finishing the race with all the flags.
Zombie runners chase the human runners over the entire course and collect as many flags as possible.
Zombie roamers do not run the course, but hang out in a designated “Zombie Zone” where runners will run by. Roamers provide interference and also try to grab flags from the humans. Roamers will be limited to a specifically assigned area.
