Race Information
The 5K Race & 1 Mile Walk or 'Creep n' Crawl'
All runners will register as either Undead or Human. If Undead they may dress as such and start the race 2 minutes after the humans begin their run. So here we'll see an army of undead chasing the living (the whole point of the race). This is just a race and no contact along the course other than normal physical contact expected at a race will be permitted. Costumes are optional but greatly encouraged, especially for anyone in the 1 Mile 'Creep n' Crawl'.
Because this is a Halloween/Undead-themed race we are going to take every precaution in keeping participants safe. No props will be allowed in during the race or at the event that could harm anyone (didn’t your mother teach you not to run with scissors?). Each participant will be required to sign an agreement along these guidelines (see registration page). In 2010, with over 1,000 participants, we had no misbehaving rascals, and no severe injuries.
