Outrun the zombies in this 5K with a difference

By Caroline King - October 9, 2016Posted in : Alternative Sport

Nottingham Zombie Dash - Halloween 2016

The zombies are waiting

When: 29th October 2016, from 4pm

Where: Holme Pierrepont National Watersports Centre, Nottingham

£: Tickets cost £27.46 – £31.68

What is it?

Looking for something unusual to do this Halloween?  Fancy a run with a difference?  Try the Zombie Dash in Nottingham on Saturday 29th October.

The dash is a 5K challenge which will see participants trying to complete the course without getting infected by zombies.  Each person begins the run with four lives, and by negotiating the obstacles and avoiding zombies, has to try to make it to the finish without losing all four lives.  Those who lose all their lives will be branded with a red ‘infected’ dog tag.

Alternatively, people can take part by being one of the zombies. Each zombie will receive a zombie face make over, some flesh-eating training, and a red ‘infected’ medal.

All participants should bring suitable clothing and a headtorch.

The event will be supporting the Nottingham Hospitals Charity.
