What is rUNDEAD?
The rUNDEAD is a 5k trail run to benefit Special Olympics New York. What are the obstacles on this run?... zombies. Each runner will start off with a flag belt and three flags. These flags represent runner lifelines. Zombies throughout the course will be attempting to take these one at a time. If a runner finishes the race with at least one flag, they’ve survived, but if zombies have taken all of a runner’s flags, while the runner can still complete the race, they will not be eligible for awards.
Escape the Virus! There are two runner divisions, “All You Can Eat,” a non-competitive flight and “Fast Food,” a competitive flight.
Join the Mob! Zombies can be “Hunters” who are allowed to chase runners for a short distance or “Crawlers” who can walk, stumble, shuffle or band together to strategically remove flags. Each zombie will be transformed in our Mob Tent.
