Run For Your Lives Zombie 5k – Fitness Unusual

On April 12, 2012, in Fitness, by Jason Bax

Treadmills are for rodents. IF you really want to get in shape you need zombies.

Ever heard the expression “you can run faster scared than angry?” Run for Your Lives is a 5K obstacle course where you are chased by real zombies trying to steal the flag on your belt. Will zombie fitness kill the gym and fitness bootcamps or just scare the crap out of them?

Runners pay $57-87 to be chased, $50+ to chase runners as a living dead zombie and spectators can enjoy the mayhem for $22+. Run For Your Lives currently has 12 events in North America…and the virus is spreading.

Just imagine how much fitter you can get when you’re running scared?

This looks awesome! I love obstacle races! I’m doing Hero Rush at the end of this month, maybe I’ll do this one, too!

Heros and zombies go hand in hand. Every zombie encounter has to have a hero, Jessica. Good luck!
