RUN FOR YOUR LIFE SEPTEMBER 2016
OTTUMWA, IA
OTTUMWA, IA
You and your human partner will have 90 short minutes to reach check points and accomplish a series of tasks in historic downtown Burlington. The catch is that you must avoid our hoard of Zombies, Ghouls and Spooks as they seek to rob you of valuable life points. This will be an all-out game of hide-and-seek meets tag where the fastest may not reach the finish line unscathed as all participants alive and undead will be running down dark alleys, city streets and through deserted parks to reach all of the mandatory check points.
Checkpoints will be marked with standard orienteering flags and glow sticks for visibility at night. Each team will be provided a race specific t-shirt to be worn as the outside layer of clothing. This shirt cannot be covered by a jacket, cape or invisibility cloak. The human teams will be provided a punch card (for check points) and a map of the Greater Ottumwa Downtown with all of the checkpoints marked. Our chasing hoard will also be provided with the same map.
Humans will be allowed to punch the check points in any order they feel advantageous to avoid Zombies and crew. The Zombies will be attempting to “slash†you with magic markers. The slashes will have to be at least two (2) inches in length to count. Every slash will count as one minute added to you finish time. Once the punch card is completely filled teams will return to the start/finish line to have their final score tabulated.
Winners will be announced at the Market on Main at 10:00 pm. Awards will be given to the top 4 teams in the following categories: all female, all male and mixed gender. There will also be an award for the Zombie team with the most slashes. Our Hoard will also award the team with the most creative name with a special prize!
