BIOHAZARD WARNING

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming with a special news bulletin. A sister organization in Missouri has informed us of an outbreak of a highly contagious blood-borne pathogen that infects human victims with a virus.

The virus is EXTREMELY dangerous and thought to be highly contagious. The virus destroys brain cells and infects the host with a form of skin necrosis. Subjects are found to have an insatiable taste for human blood. 

Anyone in contact with the virus should be considered a threat to your life. If you see an infected victim, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

We at Rugged Innovations hope you've done your stretches because these aren't the slow, shambling George Romero zombies. These are the ferocious, sprinting, howling balls of fury that shriek and wail and chase you like their death depends on it. Get ready for Run For Your Lives!, a zombie infested 5k obstacle course race. 

The premise is simple. You get a belt with small flags on it that can be easily removed (remember Flag football in junior high school?). The flags on the belt represent your health. Zombies infest the area and are trying to eat your brains deplete your health by taking away your flags. Your job is to survive the zombie apocalypse by running away from the zombies and getting through the 5k obstacle course with at least one flag still on your belt.

Darwinian natural selection takes priority here, folks. You don't have to be faster than the zombies, you just have to be faster than the slowest person in your group.

A few rules to remember: 

1. Make sure you limber up:

2. Avoid arterial spray.

3. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!

Stay safe.
