Track, Flat
Overview
This is a fun run with a twist! Can you out-run our Zombie Horde (aka our lovely pacers!) as you take on up to ten laps of our 1 mile track? Fancy dress and makeup is very much welcome (nay, encouraged!). Please just ensure that you can run safely. There will be an event village with food, drink and activities to enjoy with all the family.
How it works
We will be starting with a family-friendly Walking Dead style 15-minute mile, gradually working our way down to a World War Z-esque 5 minute mile. As soon as the Zombie Horde pass you, you're dead! Well keep going until we only have a sole survivor - or whoever wins the final lap! There will be five minutes between laps to re-hydrate, re-fuel and explore our event village before you're called to the line and the Zombie Horde are released again!
Dead or alive, all participants receive a medal for taking part and the winner receives a bespoke Zombie Run Trophy.
Please note, refunds and deferrals are not permitted for this race.
Route Information
10 x 1 mile laps with increasing speed as the race progresses.
