OMG guys, check this out!! It's an obstacle course run where zombies try to take your lives (flags like flag football). Looks so fun and crazy (and difficult)!

It's in cities across North America, check to see if there's one in your city:

    They started something like this here in a neighboring city. It started out with a couple of friends setting up a FB page and it just exploded the first year out of the gate!!!

    It's now a HUGE event each year. They only take a specific number of people now and the city helps to coordinate (with police and such) to ensure safety of the general public.

    Yes, it's gotten that huge and it looks like tons of fun!!

    ETA that the local function is not affiliated with this function.

    Did the one in Boston- it was fun.

    My wife was on the course dressed as a zombie- was interesting hearing her take on it. And yes I saw her and ayes she tried to take my flag... I screamed out "You're sleeping on the couch tonight" as I dodged her.

    It's such an awesome idea I didn't think it could be the only one :) It's great that the local one is doing so awesome too. There should be more of this combining fun & fitness :)

    Crap crap crap -- there's one like an hour from me, but it's the weekend after my Komen 5K. Don't think I'll be up for a double.

    I was so interested in this, until I saw the scary clown on the main page. I'm so scared of clowns.

    RFYL in Indy this year left a lot to be desired. Very poorly set up. Great concept, but execution was seriously lacking.
