Run For Your Lives
Run For Your Lives
If you ever want to find out how you’d fare in post-apocalyptic zombie-infested world, this is your chance.

Race The Dead
If you can’t make Run For Your Lives, there’s always Race The Dead, which is happening on Halloween night itself. Besides upping the ante on the scare factor with scare actors this year (on top of zombies trying to steal your life flags), participants can look forward to a partying it up with fellow runners at Zouk for free if you’re amongst the first 200 registrants. Plus, they’re issuing military LBVs (load bearing vests) instead of the typical runner’s tee so you can wear your funky costumes!
