Zombie Run
Get ready to run for your life to escape the zombie apocalypse at Brady Park in Massapequa Park to benefit Special Olympics New York.

Zombies will be stationed throughout the course attempting to take these one at a time. Once a runner loses all three flags, they are “dead” and the zombies have won. Runners can register in the competitive “Fast Food” group or the non-competitive “All You Can Eat” group. Those who do not wish to run have the option of registering to become a zombie. Register at www.therundead.org/longisland or sign up that day. Each runner and zombie will receive access to the course, race day festivities and an official rUNDEAD race day T-shirt.
