Event Overview

Are you fast enough to survive the zombie apocalypse?

Join Run Ohio Races LLC for The Run For Your Life, a thrilling, interactive running event where survival is the ultimate goal! This isn’t just a race — it’s a test of speed, strategy, and nerves.

How It Works

Participants can choose to register as either a Survivor or a Zombie:

Survivors

• Running Gear: Survivors will run the course wearing a flag football belt.
• Infected Zones: Along the route, infected zones will be clearly marked on the course map.
• Zombies: Zombies may be lurking in these zones, ready to grab your flags!
• Finish Line: If you reach the safe zone at the finish line with all your flags intact, you officially survive the zombie apocalypse. Lose one or more flags? You’ve been infected… but you still finish the race!

Zombies

• No Running: Zombies do not run the course.
• Mission: Their mission is to stay within designated infected zones and try to capture flags from Survivors.
• Casting: Costumes and creative zombie looks are highly encouraged!

Finisher Rewards

• Medals: All runners receive a finisher medal, whether you survive or get infected.
• Bragging Rights: Bragging rights included!
