On Sunday 7th October The Jungle NI are hosting their kids Zombie Run with a 2km and 6km zombie chasing course. This is an obstacle run with a fiendish Halloween twist – think Rampage meets The Walking Dead! Each runner starts with THREE lives (represented by flags worn about the waist) but, in addition to the running, the overcoming of obstacles and the manoeuvering through mud, runners also face ZOMBIES who will give chase in attempt to steal one of their three lives. The runner’s objective is to make it to the finish line with as many lives as possible intact. The Zombie’s objective, however, is to steal your lives, so when you hear gunshot be prepared to run, for you only have three lives and the monstrous, prowling zombies are a determined bunch!
