Regular 5k's are outdated. Today, popular events require not only a fun course, but also lots of obstacles along the way to test your mettle. I believe the draw is getting the adventure without a lot of commitment - like going to boot camp for a day without having to join the army.
The events I'm talking about are Warrior Dash, Spartan Race, and Tough Mudder, among others. Eventually, even these crazy races won't be crazy enough. The Run For Your Lives 5k is already one step ahead...
This is an off-road 5k with no less than a dozen obstacles, so it has the bases covered. But here's the catch - while you're trying to trudge through the mud pit or scale a giant cargo net, an army of undead are hot on your tail!
That's right, zombies! The course is infested with zombies who want nothing more than to eat your brains!
Technically, they won't eat your brains. They just want to steal your flags (like a flag football game.) Your goal is to make it to the finish line with at least one of your flags left.
Who would sign up for something like this?
I would! Actually, I did.
Since this is far from the bike races I normally blog about, I'll be blogging about my adventures right here at my new zombie run training blog! Stay tuned...
