About this race

⚠️ ATTENTION SURVIVORS & ZOMBIES!

An emergency alert has been issued! A Zombie Invasion has been detected near Camp San Luis Obispo on Saturday, October 3, 2026, and we need your help.

Will you survive the outbreak by protecting your lives...or will you become one of the undead?

Choose Your Side 🧟 
Survivors:
Start the race wearing 3 life flags attached to your belt. Dodge zombies, navigate the course, and make it to the finish with as many flags as you can. Every flag you keep means you've survived!

Zombies:
Your mission is simple: hunt down survivors and steal their flags. Every flag collected grows the zombie horde!
