The garden hosted its first annual Zombie Outrun on Saturday the 19. The apocalypse began at Huffnagle Park, where students and community members showed up to transform into the walking dead.
After some applying some crafty make up and worn down clothes the zombies were ready for the chase.
Runners were suited up with a flag football belts resembling lives and set free to run amongst the monsters. Their challenge? Make it through the entire 5k without loosing all their lives and falling to the apocalypse.
Sounds easy until Zombies are coming after you…
Those who were able to made it through with all their lives were safe. They had survived the apocalypse. Those who lost their lives… are all now zombies! Or at least says their shirts!!
To end the day trophies were announced to the fastest surviving human and to the zombie who claimed the most victims. Also an award went to the best dressed zombie for their outstanding terrifying appearance.
So what do we learn from this weekend themed run? Next time you really don’t want to go on a run, think about being chased by zombies, it’ll get you out the door!
