ZOMBIE INFO
What is a Zombie?
If you sign up as a "Zombie" you are NOT running in the 5K Race. You are being an active participant in the "Scaring" as runners make their way around the course. We recommend Zombies arrive by 8:20AM to ensure they can get to assigned location of race! No Zombie is allowed to make contact with Runner/Walker unless it is to pull their flags (see below).
Zombie Run Rules
The Tyrone-Snyder Public Library and Camp Anderson Zombie 5k is meant to be a friendly competition between the living and the undead. Even in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, there are some rules.
Please read them carefully. They are meant to keep you safe, the event fair, and everyone having fun.
Participants who cannot abide by the rules will be asked to leave the event.
1. Zombies will be placed throughout the route in their “zone” but can only move at a zombie pace in an attempt to capture a runner’s flag. There is to be no sprinting, no use of physical forces and no obstructing the survivors from moving forward. Zombies must remain in their zone during the event and cannot run along with the runners, but can certainly give chase to runners for a few seconds while they are in a zone.
2. Zombies may only take one life (flag) off any individual while they are in the Zombie zone. If they attempt to take more than one, they could be removed from the event.
General
1. Any direct and deliberate physical contact with any runner or zombie is strictly prohibited. Shoving, pushing, defending your flag or any aggressive behavior will not be tolerated. You will be immediately asked to leave the course if observed or reported by participants, volunteers or staff.
2. No weapons of any kind, real or replica will be permitted on the premises.
3. No drugs or alcohol are permitted on the property.
4. No pets are allowed.
5. Participants and spectators must abide by all instructions given by the event organizers and event staff.
6. Photographers may be stationed along the course. Participants, zombies, spectators and
volunteers agree to our use of any images for the event.
7. There will not be an official timer provided at this event as it is about having a good time for a great cause. Participants are welcome to time themselves if desired, and feel free to walk or run.
8. Those who want to participate in the 5k but do not want to have to run from Zombies will be given NO flags. Zombies are not allowed to interfere with those participants.
Safety
1. Remember, we are here to have fun and raise money for a good cause. Please be respectful of those around you on and off the course. To reiterate: any direct and deliberate physical contact with any runner or zombie is strictly prohibited.
2. Watch where you are going, even if you are running for your life! The course is rugged and the weather may present additional demands. Volunteers will be designated for areas of the course and can contact security or medical personnel if necessary.
3. Event staff will be on the grounds throughout the event. Participants and spectators must abide by all instructions given from the race directors and race staff.
