The Park Apocalypse has begun, and Grimes Farm will be infested with Zombies on Oct. 10. Put on those running shoes for this spine-tingling 5K, with registration beginning at 6 p.m. and a staggered race start beginning at 6:30 p.m. at 2349 233rd St., Marshalltown.
Runners will brave the oncoming night and undead creatures lurking on the trails, which will try to steal their brains (also known as flags, from flag football belts). If runners cross the finish line with flags, they have avoided lively decomposition and are declared a survivor. Those with no flags – their future is not guaranteed, and they are deemed infected.
Runners can register online at Eventbrite: tinyurl.com/28wtmyds. Online registration fee is $35 and includes a swag item, a finisher medal, a walking "dead" taco meal, a zombie antidote (Gatorade) and a zombie cookie. Registration Deadline is Oct. 7. Registration for the race day is welcome; however, medals, swag items and meals are guaranteed to the first 100 registered runners. The day of race registration is $45.
