Organiser's description

THE 11TH ANNUAL ROTD WILL NOT ONLY BE AWESOME, BUT THE IS THE RESURRECTION BACK FROM THE GRAVE! !!! AS THE ORIGINAL ZOMBIE RUN IN SYRACUSE, THE ROTD IS NOT SIMPLY A RUN WITH SOME ACTORS CHASING AFTER YOU. THIS YEARS RUN IS IN A NEW LOCATION AT WONDERLAND FOREST IN LAFAYETTE, NY! WHILE THERE WON'T BE OBSTACLES TO VAULT OVER OR CRAWL UNDER, DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT THE RUN IS GOING TO BE A WALK IN THE PARK... UNLESS IT'S A HAUNTED PARK FILLED WITH ZOMBIES! EXPECT A CHALLENGING 3.8-MILE COURSE THAT'S BRIMMING WITH TREACHEROUS HILLS AND AN ALMOST CERTAIN CHANCE OF MUD. MUDDY SHOES ARE YOUR LEAST CONCERN WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING FROM THE UNDEAD! SAME HORRIFYING PREMISE: STILL CLINGING TO LIFE? GOOD, BECAUSE OUR FLESH-HUNGRY ZOMBIES WILL CHASE YOU THROUGH THE COURSE, TRYING TO SNACK ON YOUR BRAINSOR AT LEAST SNATCH THE FLAGS THAT REPRESENT YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE FORCE ON YOUR FLAG BELT. SURVIVE THE RUN, AND YOU SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE!

A CAUSE TO DIE FOR: WE HAVEN'T LOST OUR SOUL (YET)! WE'RE STILL RAISING FUNDS FOR THE WILDERNESS SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM, WHO WILL ALSO BE ON-SITEPRESUMABLY TO SAVE YOU FROM BECOMING ZOMBIE CHOW.
