This. Is. Brilliant.<\/p>\n

Run for Your Lives<\/a> is a charity event benefiting the American Red Cross. It’s a 5K run\/obstacle course wherein participants are chased by volunteer zombies.<\/p>\n

Runners wear “life” flags and their zombies pursuers attempt to rip off the flags. Runners who reach the end of the course with flags left are eligible for various prizes.<\/p>\n

The event is in Baltimore, MD this year, but the site promises that there will be additional locations in 2012. In addition to the site there are Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> presences which will provide more details about what sorts of obstacles to expect.<\/p>\n

Here’s their promotional video:<\/p>\n

Their FAQ<\/a> is also fairly entertaining:<\/p>\n

What will I walk away with?<\/b>
\nWarwear performance tee
\nRacing bib (we know you always wanted one)
\nMedals to signify your survival (or zombie transformation)
\nAdmittance to the Apocalypse Party
\nAdvanced training for the actual Zombie Apocalypse
\nOne less appendage<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’re in the Baltimore area and have always yearned to be chased by zombies (or to be a zombie and chase the living), now’s your chance.<\/p>\n
