Run For Your Lives 2012

The VIRUS is spreading!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES is now happening in 11 locations across America. 2011 was a huge success and this year promises even bigger thrills. You know its gaining momentum when the big news networks are talking.


There's a lot of videos on YouTube from participating runners, and its really cool that most of them were taken from the 1st person perspective. I really need to get one of those sunglasses with built-in video recorders.


Stamina and speed are important, but you really need to think on your feet to make it through the day.

All kinds of deadly challenges await the participants. From blood pits, an infested barn, dark tunnels, mud traps, deadly choke points, and things to climb over, this event will test the mettle of seasoned survivalists.

Don't wanna run? Wanna eat brains? Volunteer as a zombie! This totally rocks if you got creative make-up and latex skills.

Check out this volunteer's journal at The OMB's Lawn to find out what a cool dude and a lovely zombie named Deb endured to make the event extra special. Without the enthusiasm of awesome people like them, the whole event would suck.

This race is also a great opportunity to introduce non-survivalist types get into our vibe and spread zombie preparedness. If you ask me, I like this sorta thing way more than a zombie walk because nothing beats a runner's high!

Stay vigilant!

Happy Halloween!

To celebrate, here's what went down at the Run For Your Lives 5K obstacle race at Baltimore. I really wish I could have made it to this one!

And here are some cool folks who volunteered to play the opposing force for the day. Hats off to the runners and zombies!

Stay vigilant!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! A 5K Obstacle Race with Zombies

Zombies are invading Baltimore!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES is a one of a kind 5K adventure race that promises to test the mettle of anybody preparing for the zombie apocalypse. Unique challenges await participants! For this event, you'll be needing much more than leg power and stamina. Do you have what it takes to survive?

There will be ZOMBIES. And yes, they will be chasing you!

When:      October 22, 2011

Where:     Ramblewood
                 2564 Silver Road
                 Darlington, MD 21034
                 1.5 hours south of Philly

Special Features:

Participants have health points (and wear a flag belt), zombies will attack you and reduce your health. If you run outta health, you're dead!

Use your brain or lose it: Survival-horror scenarios await the runners.  Your lives will depend on the choices you'll need to make to overcome the 12 man-made obstacles.

If you're strong and smart enough, perhaps you can win  prizes at the APOCALYPSE PARTY.  This snazzy awards ceremony will have rockin' bands, beer, zombie merchandise, celebs, and way more fun!

I'd say the real reward is a chance to party with like-minded folks.  How cool is that?

Mark your calendar for this special event and get on with your training.  And this one's mandatory for all survivalists. You never know when you'll have to do this for real! For more information, head on over to the official website.  Register NOW!





Stay vigilant!
