Disappointing
I always try to give races with a cause the benefit of the doubt and, unfortunately this race needs as much kindness as I can provide.
Let's start with the good:
-The people running the race were super friendly and eager to help get signed in,
-While I was a runner not a zombie, the zombie prep crew seemed really nice as well.
-The t-shirts are great high quality cotton tees
- The zombies were very enthusiastic.
-The venue had plenty of parking...I'm doing my best to provide a positive spin folks
The negatives:
- Because the venue was a large sports complex, finding the registration site was pretty iffy. We only found them by wandering toward music and the garbled announcements by a DJ.
- The aforementioned DJ/Announcer was pretty much indecipherable. Normally I'd write this off but as he was giving instructions to the racers it was important.
- The race itself was at least 30 minutes late to start. Or maybe not...communication was a problem as you may have guessed.
- Safety, this one is important. There were some very little kids acting as zombies- running into crowds of runners to grab life flags (bits of caution tape) I saw a number of runners trip over each other to not trample the kids with more than one skinned knee as a result.
-No medal at the end. The bling is the thing and this didn't have the promised bling. I overheard there was an ordering error so they didn't arrive on time. I emailed the company the day after the race but as of a week later I haven't gotten a response.
There may have been an after party, but after 3 rocky laps and having a zombie snatch all of my remaining lives in one grab we called it good and went our way.
I want to support local runs especially ones that support good causes, but I'll be hard pressed to go back to this one.
Run of the Dead
Ive dont this race 3 years in a row! It never gets boring and is absolutely AWESOME! It feels like you are running through a movie or the set of the Walking Dead!
