As my frequent mention of zombies in this blog has already created the impression that I am pro-zombie (at least, pro-comedic zombie movies; I'm not as into the serious scary ones), this has to be the best race idea ever:
In Alexandria, Virginia, crazy folks of all ages can compete for glory in trying to escape zombie hordes! The zombies wear red glow necklaces, and they chase runners wearing blue glow necklaces. If you're caught, the zombie claims your blue necklace as a trophy and you get a red necklace and a new mission--track down the remaining "human" runners and claim your own trophies. Prizes will be given to the fastest humans who survive the predations of the undead as well as the running corpses who collect the most blue necklaces. Is it just me or does it sound like more fun to be a zombie in this scenario?
This is being sponsored by a local parkour gym, and rumor has it that traceurs tend to excel at this sort of thing, unsurprisingly.
So this Saturday evening (August 14, 2010), if you find yourself in Old Town Alexandria, watch out for zombies!
Q- are you doing Run for Your Lives 5k? It's a combination of WarriorDash with Flag Football and has Zombies... If you make it through obstacles and course with at least one flag you're a survivor of the Zombie apocolypse. If not, you've been transformed. The medals at the end indicate the outcome based on your performance.
