Concept
Brace yourself for a 5K dash that will set your heart-racing faster than you can run. Standing in your way, every corner and every turn, will be hordes of zombies waiting to grab a hold of your beautiful faces to tear them open and consume what's beneath. The apocalypse is closer than you think, and if you think all you've got to be is fast, you've got another thing coming.
Runners will have to maneuver and traverse a string of obstacles that makes "challenging" sound like a walk in the park, at the same time having to dodge and outrun zombies awaiting their next meal.
Make your way to The Fort, the last remaining safe haven that is quarantined and kept safe from the zombie hordes. Armed military personnel will be waiting for you at the gates to ensure your survival, but getting there is the challenge.

Story
Before it was known as Sentosa (isle of tranquility), the island had gone by another name that many have chosen to ignore or hush away, Pulau Belakang Mati (isle of death from behind).
There were many legends and myths surrounding the origin of that ominous name. One version stated that the island was once a place of piracy and bloodshed, and the victims of the murders still haunted that place. Another account revealed that the island was once a fishing village that had half its population wiped out by a viral outbreak. The bodies were never found, and the remaining population moved out of the island for fear of their lives.
Many conspiracy theorists believed that the authorities had a facility located below the island which housed the once missing bodies to determine the cause of death and develop the virus into an enhancement that they can use on living persons.
That did not turn out well.






This Halloween, brace yourself for a 5K dash that will set your heart-racing faster than you can run. Standing in your way, every corner and every turn, will be hordes of zombies waiting to grab a hold of your beautiful faces to tear them open and consume what's beneath. The apocalypse is closer than you think, and if you think all you've got to be is fast, you've got another thing coming.

We hope you’re a morning person, because the post apocalyptic playground you’re about to brave offers no protection. At the starting line, you’ll come across a flipped tanker, the source of the toxic compound. After the first kilometer, you’ll enter into a military-controlled apocalypse zone. Beware, this is where your dash from zombies will begin. Around kilometer 3, you’ll make it to a vaccination hydration center. The vaccine will fail, and you’ll have to continue to sprint from zombies. The last 2 kilometers are a free-for-all, as you charge towards freedom. Zombies are everywhere. Helicopters circle overhead and military personnel distribute facemasks for safety during your final steps.
Runners have the option of wearing a custom, latex free “life-balloon”. Our brain hungry zombies will try to pop your balloon and take your life before your reach the finish line. But if you’re not fast, don’t worry! Our course is designed like a zombie movie set, so if you don’t wear your balloon or survive the race, you’ll still have a spooky run. Dead or alive, all runners get to complete the entire course and attend the Quarantine Party.

THE HUMANS
Are you ready to run? Register as an individual for $45 or as part of a team of 4+ humans for $40 per runner. In addition to the full-out apocalypse, runners will receive:
  • Official Zombie Run t-shirt
  • Zombie Run eco-water bottle
  • Admission to the Quarantine Party
THE ZOMBIES
Don’t want to run from them? Become one. For $25, you can register to be an Official Zombie Run zombie and receive:
  • Gory, movie-quality zombie makeover
  • Exclusive zombie gear
  • Admittance to the Survivor Party
THE QUARANTINE PARTY
After you make it through the infestation of zombies during the race, you’ll enter the Quarantine Party. There will be a local DJ, food trucks, a zombie makeover station, photo stations to take pictures with our scariest zombies, and a store to pick up some merchandise.

GET INVOLVED
Putting on the zombie apocalypse is hard work. So, we’re always seeking ambitious humans to help spread the word of the impending apocalypse, to volunteer in our apocalypse zone on race day, and to help bring our event to life. We also have charitable partnership programs available to eligible non-profit organizations.  For information about how you or your non-profit can get involved with The Zombie Run, contact our race team at info@thezombierun.com.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Think you’re up to the challenge? Then register for The Zombie Run as a human, zombie, or volunteer. If you can round up a team of four or more brave humans, then sign-up as a team and receive a special group rate. Then, just sit back, relax, and wait for the apocalypse. Once race day gets closer, we’ll email you with the details about race packet pickup and other logistics.
This will be the most exhilarating 3.1 miles of your life. Let’s get ready to run, New Orleans!

During the heart-pounding Zombie Race on September 29, runners dart through 5 or 15 kilometers lousy with obstacles such as monkey bars, a rope climb over water, and a mud mountain—all the while fleeing costumed zombies. Each racer wears three health flags, which the pursuers attempt to rip off one by one. Those who choose zombie admission will be among the undead out for the runners' health tags. After the untimed race, participants celebrate at an after-party with barbecue and beer, a muddy dance party, and a turkey-leg-eating contest. Each of-age contestant enjoys a free beer. The race is open to everyone aged 9 and older. For more information, see the general race information.

Zombie Race
Miles of celluloid are dedicated to movie characters fleeing zombies, but during the real-world Zombie Race, evading flesh-feasting beasties is just one of the tasks. Racers must not only protect their three health tags—losing all three means not “surviving”—but they must also navigate the course’s military-style obstacles, such as winning the affection of a withholding drill sergeant. Refugees of the imaginary Ragnarok traipse along balance beams, slog headlong through a mud pit, or crawl, clamber, and sprint through any number of impediments. At the finish line, muddied survivors collect a finisher’s medal before entering an apocalypse-themed post-race party, complete with live entertainment, snacks, and beer.
