The Las Vegas Zombie Run

The Las Vegas Zombie Run is a 5k and 1-mile fun run/walk to benefit local charity Generation Vegas. While the course is relatively easy, avoiding the zombies will be a bit more challenging. This trail run takes place at Sunset Park and each runner will wear a flag football-style belt. If you make it through the course with any of your flags left, you'll finish "alive," however, if the zombies take all of your flags... you'll finish "undead."
