Zombie Registration (NOT running the race)

Includes T-Shirt

We can't do it without our Zombies! You will try to retrieve life strips from the runners and even scare them around turns. You and your zombie mob are encouraged to make this a frightening (but safe!) environment for our racers. Your horde can force runners to reroute slightly, but no contact is allowed, and don't forget to snatch as many Life Strips as you can! Pre-race meeting at 6:00pm at 6th Street Bridge Park. Zombies get free swag and food/drink tickets - as long as you come dressed to scare!
