5K Race Series presents:

"Zombie Run"

Friday, October 24, 2014

Place: On the ATV trail behind the Pine Grove Cemetary on Rt. 152   

Cost: donations accepted - proceeds will be shared with Mid Maine Lacross

Registration 4:30-5:00pm

Race Start: 5:00 for walkers, 5:10 for runners, 5:13 for zombies

"Run for your life!   The Zombies are chasing you!!"

At this month's race, participants will be given a flag to attach to their belt.   They will be given a 3 minute head start to run from the Zombies (a.k.a. The Teachers on the Run)!   The Zombies will chase after the runners and try to pull the flag off from the belt.   If you lose your flag, you will turn into a Zombie too!   Who will make it to the finish line still alive as a human.....???

We are also teaming up this month with the Mid Maine Lacross Team to add some extra zombies along our trail!   Keep your eyes open - you never know when one might pop out to get you!!

Please note our change in race location, day and time!!   We're hoping it will really set the "creepy mood" - making it more fun for everyone!   Parking will be along the road beside the cemetary.   Although we will have signs up indicating our event, please use caution when making your way to the race registration from your vehicle.   The registration will be at the head of the ATV trail beside the cemetary.   Our route will be 2 miles total (1 mile out and 1 mile back) on the ATV trail.   Since it will be getting dark as racers finish, please feel free to BYOF (bring your own flashlight)!

Prizes will be given to the first place finisher for each of the following categories: 

*First place human male, female and student

*First place zombie male, female and student

All participants will be entered into a raffle to be drawn at the conclusion of the race.
