In Preparation for Zombie Apocalypse
My husband wants to run this race:
The “Run For Your Life 5K” an obstacle race with zombies on your tail.
This video is just the trailer, the race video is below.
Similar to the Tough Mudder and other fun courses, the Run For Your Life race offers all the fun on the other courses. This one is different because you have to wear flags on your belt and if the zombies catch you they will steal one of your flags before they eat your brains.
I am sure I can run a 5K, but I don’t know if I will be healed enough for the obstacles. I hope so, I need the training. Z-Day is right around the corner.

There is but one word for this. That word is “EPIC.”
@feyenigma - That’s what I thought! You should sign up!
LOL! I’d love to see footage of the actual race.
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - Haha, we will have to see about videoing it, but I promise there will be many pics!
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - I added a video I found that has the actual race
Our daughter was training for that when she took a spill. I was awakened at just shy of midnight by an incoming message: A photo with no explanation of the gaping wound just below her kneecap. She was hoping to heal in time for the run, but now it’s looking like reconstructive surgery will be required.
Be careful! We don’t need any more casualties!
@HappierHeathen - Oh no! Surgery? That sucks. I hope she gets better, and it’s just as well. With an injury like that the zombies would surely eat her.
@BoulderChristina - Cool. Looks pretty crazy. I’d probably last about 5 minutes. Maybe less. LOL!
interesting.. never knew such a race existed.. it would be more fun to watch if we have real zombies thrown in throughout the race.. ahaha
Those are some quick zombies in the trailer.
Absolutely a brilliant motivator for just about ANYONE to get off their ass and get moving.
Too bad there isn’t one in Canada!
i could be a zombie
that looks like an awesome race
I’ve heard of this; they had it in Austin not too long ago. One of my favorite Paleo bloggers did it and loved it.
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - I have a feeling that if I do it I will be the human sacrifice for my friends, myself!
@maniacsicko - To watch, maybe, but not to run!
@specialxplaces - Definitely inspiring to make me move! Who knows, if we all survive this year maybe they will head your way soon!
@promisesunshine - I wanted to be one, but the zombie tickets are already sold out!
@godfatherofgreenbay - Its coming to MN this summer, might be worth a road trip!
@WaitingToShrug - It’s coming to Cedar Creek TX in Dec, not sure how far away that is from you. I am going to add your friend, and hope she doesn’t mind my organic foods post!
@BoulderChristina - figures. i guess i’ll have to settle for couch potato
@WaitingToShrug - She isn’t on Xanga but she looks really cool so I signed up for RSS feed.
@promisesunshine - Come with me, we will drink beer and cheer on the zombies. There’s a huge after party, and of course we can attend that.
@BoulderChristina - i can drink beer.
@promisesunshine - That’s my only requirement in a friend.
@BoulderChristina - now all i gots to do is get to colorado
@BoulderChristina - Sorry, I should have specified- non-xanga blog. I don’t know her personally, but I have her cookbook, it’s amazing. That’s where I got the cinnamon beef stew recipe!
My aunt got to do this in Georgia! She had a blast. If I could run at all, I’d love to be able to do it.
sounds like fun, although I’m a vampire over zombies person.
What a fun and great idea for a race
I’m sure my kids would love to do something like that!
Now that looks like fun and if I was young and in shape I would love to do this.
@Grannys_Place - I think it’s going to be a ball!
@xXxlovelylollipop - And you too!
@DivaJyoti - Vampires can fly, I wouldn’t want to race them!
@ItsAll_A_LoveWar - I may end up being a spectator myself!
And you can’t shoot back??? What fun is that? And I have this awesome watergun that I’m so want to use…
I’ll bring the beer. What brand do you like???
@Zoz36 - Sounds good! Now you, me and PromiseSunshine can all observe in style!
@BoulderChristina - lol that’s way too logical for my brain on this topic today!
My friend & I heard about that a few months ago. We are all into The Walking Dead show & wanted to do it! But we are in Alaska so OF COURSE it’s not up here. Although I know I wouldn’t be able to run that far. But it would be fun anyways!
I do not like to run. But that…almost might be motivation. If it wasn’t 5k… I’m sure I will have my brains eaten.
I want to do this so so so bad!!
Nice blog
If you’re considering a 10K, check out the Run 10 Feed 10! The 10K held in Chicago this September will my next running goal!
I’ve always wanted to do this so I’m really looking forward to reading about it. Are you a huge zombie fanatic? Do you have a fav movie/director?
I make it a point to only compete with the slow moving zombies – those modern faster ones are too much trouble!
You still amaze me!!!!
Wow. This race… Wow!
I hope you are healed & are able to run this!!!!
*Hugs*
sounds like fun. be sure to carry pepper spray.
Actually looks like fun and one hell of a work out. I’ll applaud from the side lines.
… GO FOR IT, G/F!!!
Wow, I never heard of a run like that–looks like loads of fun.

@Mrs_FoodLover - I don’t think I can run it, but it would be fun, wouldn’t it? If you are in Alaska, do you get to run from real zombies? I have always seen Alaska as the ultimate zombie battlegrounds!
@leaflesstree - Mine too!
@KelliAnnC - I hope you do! And thanks!
@Sheegwa - Good for you! It is always more fun to run for a cause, I need to find one myself!
@AncoraImparo - I LOVE zombies, I have watched them since I was a kid! I don’t have a fav, but I seem to like the cheesy b rated ones the best. Do you have any suggestions?
@SoullFire - Brilliant!
@karoline1982 - Thank you so much! I hope so too!
@plantinthewindow - Does that work on zombies? Good to know!
@MzSilver - Haha, I may be on the sidelines right next to you! I always love to see you stop by, lady! You are a great supporter of my wacky ideas, maybe because you can relate to them!
@ANVRSADDAY - Thanks!
I’m glad somebody in this society is taking the Zombie Apocalypse seriously! I don’t feel so alone anymore.
@PrisonerxOfxLove - You know it! Especially after the incident in FL you reported on! Don’t worry, if you need protection on that day you know where to find me. I have crossbow skills, hunting skills, and a mean dog to keep us safe!
@BoulderChristina - omg girl, YES. I could write forever about zombies. I always recommend the classics first, made by the man who created zombies in their modern form: George Romero. *SWOON* He is behind Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead. A trilogy. You love zombies, I love zombies…this calls for a hug.
@BoulderChristina - check out this survivor tool!!! oh man I am such a nerd. Crovel
@AncoraImparo - HUGS returned! I have watched and loved all of those! I will check out that link when I get back. I am working on Rule #1 – Cardio, cardio, cardio!
@BoulderChristina - *bows down* I’ll come find you when the apocalypse officially starts
@AncoraImparo - You and I will rule!
why isn’t there one in south carolina!! we have mud dammit! LOL
@grizzlybearr - I would protest!
