ATTENTION: We have been notified of an impending Zombie Invasion at Camp San Luis Obispo on October 27, 2018! You will need to band together to survive this terrible plague. You will need to enter Camp San Luis Obispo and walk or run 5K on foot to a secure government location. It is strongly advised that all citizens participating utilize extreme caution due to trip hazards, wildlife, dehydration, environmental exposure, and especially – The Undead.
This is a 5K walk or run for the whole family! Come and be a zombie, a survivor, or stay and do both! There will be a kid and family friendly shorter run as well And don’t worry – if you are zombie phobic, you can choose to wear different color flags to keep them away! Or if you are a “bring it on – Walking Dead” type – we have special flags for you to attract them! All ages are welcome. Note: the terrain is both paved and unpaved with minimal incline and a few optional obstacles. And if it’s raining, mud will be fun!
Participants may either be Zombies, Survivors, or Both. Zombies may come in full costume or if needed there is zombification available for a suggested small donation (old, ripped clothing is best to wear as it may become stained.) Event shirt, bag, and goodies for participants. Each survivor starts with three flags and to ensure survival must keep these flags. (Green flags – zombies LOVE these, yellow flags – zombies walk to catch, red flags – zombies eat only if you get too close to them.) You pick your flag colors.
Invasion occurs rain or shine. Food, drink, bounce house, vendor booths and more.
SUPPORTED BY A GENEROUS GRANT FROM THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
THE RUNS:
Kid Friendly Family Run – 10:00am
Zombies will be nice, as they already had some breakfast… and the kids can wear whichever flag color they like. If they wear all red flags, the zombies will not move towards them. Yellow flags slowly attract walking zombies. Green flags actually cause zombies to walk quickly towards you or even run after you if you are running.
5K Survival Race – 11:00am
Zombies are out to get you, if they get your flags, well, you’re infected – sorry Charlie! But, if you survive – you’ll help the world move on! Get your running shoes on, because… they’re out there, hiding behind bushes, under cars, and around corners…
Location
Camp San Luis Obispo off Highway 1 in San Luis Obispo (near Cuesta college). Enter from Hollister/Dairy Creek or O’Connor way. DON’T DRIVE ONTO THE BASE – it is behind the base.
