Humans vs Zombies Fun Run
Humans vs Zombies is an outdoor run that will take place across campus.
Begin by simply making the decision...Living or Undead...
There are winners on both sides but you must choose one.
Join us for the newly revamped Humans Vs. Zombies event!
Replacing the week long campus event Humans vs. Zombies - Nerf Gun/Tag Battle this now one day event is fun for anyone wanting to participate! Heck even non-runners can participate as a wandering zombie by just being there and looking creepy.
The Course through campus will be less than one mile and will have zombie free zones to give our humans a break from the action. Runners with one life or less can participate in our optional obstacle course to try and earn one life back.
Humans-Runners
Runners: the goal is simple: stay alive and don't get caught. You'll be wearing two flags (think flag football) that represent your lives. Finish the race with either one flag intact to "stay alive".
There are optional obstacles for any runners wanting more of a challenge on the course and only a few hills. Remember that it isn't just the track, but there will be zombies chasing you on the track that make it tough. We will have a few Zombie-free zones on the path to give runners a chance to rest.
The fastest living winner, crossing the finish-line with at least one flag intact, will receive a prize.
Zombies-AAARRRGGGGRR
Zombies: these runners aren't going to eat themselves. You will get dressed up and have the opportunity to either wander, limp or run and grab flags within a designated area.
- Type I: The Wanderer, will wander have little to no concern for runners. You will not have to run, but can collect flags from any runner who gets too close for comfort.
- Type II: The Limper, for the slow at heart (and body), this is your ticket! You will be assigned to a section of the course. You can stand, limp, stagger, or just growl as long as you don't run. Your job is to grab runner flags, look scary, have fun!
- Type III: The Bolter, is the ultimate zombie. You will be assigned to a section of the course, however you will be free to run, terrorize, chase runners and take flags.
The zombie who collects the most flags throughout the event will receive a prize.
