Dam Zombies 2024 (Arcadia Lake)

THE DAM ZOMBIES ARE BACK AT THE ARCADIA LAKE DAM TRAILS!



RACE AS MANY LAPS AS YOU CAN BEFORE THE TIMER RUNS OUT - OR BEFORE YOU TURN INTO A ZOMBIE. THE FINISHER WITH THE MOST LAPS WINS IN EACH CATEGORY (PODIUMS FOR WOMEN, MEN AND CO-ED). TIED FOR LAPS? WINNER WILL BE THE QUICKEST TIME FOR THEIR FINAL FULL LAP. TWO-PERSON TEAM RULES: ONLY ONE TEAM MEMBER RIDING ON THE COURSE AT A TIME. TEAM MEMBERS CAN RIDE FOR AS MANY LAPS AS THEY WOULD LIKE BEFORE PASSING THE BATON. THE BATON CAN ONLY BE PASSED AT THE LAP FINISH LINE TO TRANSITION TO THE OTHER TEAM MEMBER. EACH TEAM MEMBER MUST COMPLETE AT LEAST ONE LAP TO QUALIFY AS A TEAM FINISHER.



ALL RACERS WILL RECEIVE A CUSTOM ENGRAVED FINISHER TROPHY!



THIS YEAR THE COURSE IS SIMILAR TO 2023'S WITH SOME VARIATIONS TO KEEP IT FRESH - THE COURSE IS A MODERATE 6-MILE FLOWY AND FUN, BUT NOT TECHNICALLY INTIMIDATING SINGLE TRACK. WE'RE CONFIDENT IT WILL TURN A FEW OF YOU INTO ZOMBIES BY THE END OF THE DAY.
