USI’s Brain Drain Zombie 5K: A challenging race with a scary twist

0

The University of Southern Indiana’s Brain Drain Zombie 5K run, sponsored by Romain Subaru, will take place on October 25, 2014 at the Grimes Haus on the USI campus.

Runners will be given three flags at the start of the race. The course will contain challenging obstacles such as The Brain Drain Pipe Tunnel, The Brain Drain Slide, or The Brain Drain Tire Pit designed to make the completion more difficult, although not impossible. Zombie Zones will feature zombies chasing participants in an effort to capture the runners’ flags and “drain their brains.” Completion time is not a factor. However, participants should strive to compete the course as quickly as possible to avoid being captured by one of the undead.

In addition to the run, the Brain Drain Zombie Blood Bash Expo will feature vendors from around the community from 3:30 to 8 p.m.

Participants should pre-register for the event online by October 18, 2014. Registration is $35 per runner, and $30 per runner for a group of 5 or more. Late registration, after October 18, is $40 per runner or $35 per runner for groups. Check in on the day of the race begins at 3:30 p.m. The race begins at 5 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m.
