Run For Your Lives!

[Umbran]

Most of us gamers are... somewhat more sedentary than we ought to be. Here's something that could get me to train for a 5K run.

Run For Your Lives - 5k Race - The Last Day of Your Life

Basically, a 5K cross country run, with obstacles and zombies!

My wife is a runner, I can't wait to hear what she says about this.

My brother is a Scoutmaster, and he's now thinking of using this as inspiration for a camporee theme in the autumn.

Oh, man I wish I was close. I ran cross country in high school and regularly run (5x per week) 5km (hey wait...5km? I thought you Yanks used miles?)...never with zombies though, but if they come I'll be ready

Very cool, but I'm not sure what kind of training plan I need to get it down as one of the zombies.

The only reason why use km for races and marathons is since saying 5 Kill-ometers makes it more epic sounding then 5 miles (or actually, saying the real distance which in this case is about 3.1 miles).
