An organization is in charge of putting everything in motion so that nothing is missing and the staging transports those who participate to an authentic zombie apocalypse. You can expand more information in this section and below we will develop what they consist of
What can humans do?
During the races the participants wear a belt with flags of different colors that represent their lives and the zombies have to remove all of them in order to eliminate the runners. Of course, as an incentive, for those who lose lives during the itinerary there will be some positions with more, so they can be replaced.
The most exciting thing of all is that there is a starting point and an arrival point, but not a fixed route, so it is the participant who has to manage to reach the finish line after overcoming all the obstacles.
What can zombies do?
The living dead can go after their victims to remove the scarves from their belts, although they will not be able to touch them, push them, grab them... (We will not kill their pursuers either).
When you go after a human in search of his health flags, you will not be able to get them all at once, that is: one item of clothing for each participant.
There are two types of zombies: the normal ones that can only walk after the participants and the hunters, who can run (and must do so throughout the test, if they wish, resting in turns).
What obstacles will participants encounter?
The routes have various obstacles that must be overcome, such as nets, car wheel tracks to pass through, wooden platforms, swimming pools, ropes located half a meter above the ground to pass under... in the middle During the course there will likely be areas of water, grass and mud to complicate the progress of the runners a little.
Who wins?
The runners who reach the finish line first with at least one ribbon will win the race. Normally organizations take care of establishing game shifts to avoid having too many people taking the test at the same time.
What does all this achieve?
The first and most important thing is to have a good time with friends, doing sports in an original way and attending an unusual event that is far from the most common weekend plans.
In general, the prizes are usually a t-shirt, a number, a medal or a soft drink, and depending on the sponsors of said competition there may be other prizes valued at a higher amount. If you attend as a spectator you can also attend a party to celebrate the apocalypse, something that seems to be a tradition in this type of race.
In all races you can attend as a zombie or as a human. If you choose the first, there is usually a team of makeup artists who are in charge of giving more realism to the living dead, although there are many people who attend transformed from home.
What is a zombie apocalypse?
In a zombie apocalypse, all the dead worldwide are resurrected with a thirst for blood and eager to catch all the humans who remain safe and sound. Currently there are several companies that are in charge of making zombie survivals putting the participants, where you have to get some clues in a town invaded by the living dead and where you have to escape from them.
At the moment this race has been held in some parts of the world such as Indiana, Texas or Washington in the USA, in Mexico or in Spain in Barcelona and Madrid. Here are some videos to give you an idea:
