Its called runforyourlives.com, its kind of like the mud run(if youre familiar with that) you wear flags, and people are dressed up as zombies and they try to attack/chase you. Whoever gets to the finish line with the most flags win wonderous prizes. Its a pretty brutal obstacle course.

Heh, I'm probably going to do that too when it comes to MA.  The prizes thing doesn't match anything that I saw on their website, though.  I did the Warrior Dash, Spartan Race, and Metro Dash this year.  The zombie race looks like it'll probably be easier than those.

Spartan Race and Warrior Dash?! Never heard of those, Ill have to check em out. I was reading that they have different age and level of difficulty courses too, I hope its hard, I dont want it to be easy. The mud run in camp pendleton in CA is kinda easy, thats the only other thing like that out here.

Dang, are registration prices usually so high for things like this?  It's going to be $77 from tomorrow to March!  I'd love to do that but don't think I could convince the wife.

To be honest, this is my first one of this nature. A buddy of mine is in the military, so we got to do the Mud Run for free. I thought it was pretty steep too, but it sounds like a lot of fun, you get to train for it, and I believe you get a t shirt. Im a sucker for cool t shirts.  ;D

Yes, sadly.  And it's getting worse.  If the show is printing money these races are fabricating diamonds.  The Warrior Dash I ran was like $50-75 to register and more than 7000 people ran it over two days.  Similar races are popping up all over the place each with some slight variation on the 5k obstacle course theme.  Fortunately for me I have a comparison point because so many seem to be held at the same spot in MA on the same course.  A little rerouting within the hills, extra obstacles, and the course can go from easy to wtf pretty fast.  The Warrior Dash and the Spartan Race were in the same location but the Spartan took me twice as long despite being in far better condition at the time.  Run For Your Lives is in the same place next year.

If you check the prices for the zombie run they are even charging spectators $22.  Add in $10 to park and one of these races ends up $100 or more.

Mikezilla:
Whoa. I didnt notice the spectator price, and the parking fee. I swear, they are freaking vultures man, charging for EVERYTHING. Its unbelievable these days what people get away with when an event like this goes on. Chargning a spectator 22 bucks?! Thats blasphemy.
