If you make it back to the "Safe Zone" and cross the finish line with at least one health flag in tact or with a health bonus pack, you will be marked as "alive" in the results.  You will also be eligible for time-based prizes.

If you enter the "Safe Zone" and cross the finish line without any health flags or health bonus packs, you will be marked as "dead."  You will be ineligible for a time-based award.

Bear in mind that your zombie transformation occurs only after you've crossed the finish line.  If all of your flags have been taken while you are running the course, you are NOT automatically transformed into a zombie and you may NOT take another runner's flags, chase other runners, or pick up flags off of the ground.

Run. Watch zombie movies. Run some more.

If you are running the race, you should allot yourself AT LEAST 2 hours before your scheduled wave time to park, pick up your registration, pass security, and limber up.

A true survivor earns their ranking-- do not cheat yourself!  One flag should be placed on each of your hips and one in the back.  You may not tuck your flags into your clothing, or you will be automatically disqualified.  All flags should be visible AT ALL TIMES.

No. Your only weapons will be your abilities to run away and make quick decisions. Train well.

If you are skilled enough to evade our zombies AND do so in the fastest time, you must claim your prize in person after the results have been announced at the end of the race.  Plus, you get the satisfaction of letting everyone there know that you are a true badass.

Yes, but you will be devoured by zombies. If you are unable to complete an obstacle, it is your responsibility to notify an official. You may choose to continue the course, but you will not be eligible for awards, and will be listed as "zombie" on the final event posting.
