Get ready for the zombie apocalypse.

Well, not really. More like a marathon in conjunction with Active Heroes:

THE MILITARY-CONTRACTED BIOCHEMICAL EXPERIMENT HASN’T GONE THE WAY PROFESSOR LEVITSKY HAS PLANNED. IN FACT, IT’S GONE HORRIBLY WRONG. COMPOUND 894 IS SHOWING EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS, AND THERE’S TROUBLE ON THE HORIZON. IT’S BRINGING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE. THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE IS TO RUN. OUTRUN ZOMBIES TO REACH SAFETY, BECAUSE C-894 MAY HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO A CITY NEAR YOU.
Every runner donates back to help military families!

The Zombie Run will be held at various locations around the country. Red stars are for upcoming Zombie Runs and yellow stars are for Zombie Runs not yet scheduled.
