Zombies | Charleston Rundead 5k

The UNdead Life of the Party

Purpose: Assume the role of the UNdead and stagger through clearings and the woods in search of your next meal. Steal flags from RUNNERS, thereby assimilating them into the ZOMBIE nation.

General Zombie Info

You will be on the 5K course. You can show up UNdead already, or we will provide the make-up and blood at the Kenneth Shuler Zombie Assimilation Station for $15/$25 (after Nov. 1). You provide the tattered, old clothing, and the amazing team from the Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology will provide the gore. Please note the Assimilation Station will be ran on a first come, first served basis. If you want to take advantage, plant to arrive early. Themed costumes are encouraged. We will have a well organized costume contest.

Registration includes rUNdead aluminum water bottle, one beer token (21+), quarantine entrance and one Kidz Quarantine entrance.

Types of Zombies

To make things more interesting, we have 3 types of ZOMBIES this year at rUNdead 5K. They will be strategically placed throughout the course to add to the excitement, entertainment and challenge. There will be “Ragers” (think 28 Days Later), “Walkers” (think The Walking Dead), and there will be “Clueless” (think Shaun of the Dead).

Ragers

Ragers will be stationed in clearings & straightaways & run after RUNNERS.

Important Details

****Note differences from previous years. Zombies for the TEEN (13-17) race which begins at 11:00am must do their own makeup as there will not be time for the assimilation station to do it. Makeup by the assimilation station is not included in registration this year. If you wish to get it done there is a charge for it and it is first come first serve day of, so get there early.

Zombie Assimilation Station opens at 10:00am and stops taking MAIN COURSE zombies-to-be at 12:00pm, so get there early. After the race begins, spectators and children can get made up for a recommended $5 donation.
