Race Overview
Run For Your Life: The Outbreak – Mission Update 🏃♀️
The outbreak has begun.
We failed.
Despite our best efforts, the formula was incomplete. Before we could correct it… the infection spread. Fairborn is no longer safe. Communication has been lost. The infected are everywhere.
But there is still hope.
Our scientists have identified the missing ingredient — the final piece needed to complete the cure.
Now, we need you.
Your Mission
- Retrieve: the missing ingredient and deliver it to Run Ohio Races Central Headquarters.
- Mass Produce: Once there, our team will mass produce the cure and begin restoring the city.
Course Warning
- Compromised Route: The route is compromised.
- Infected Individuals: Infected individuals are active and unpredictable.
- High-Risk Zones: High-risk zones have been identified.
- Stay Alert: You may be chased… you may be tested… you must not fail.
Objectives
Complete your laps. Protect the ingredient. Deliver it safely.
If you succeed… we save Fairborn.
If you fail… you become one of them.
