The Running Dead Chicago is a Halloween Celebration of All Things Zombie. The course is a paved path that works its way through the scenic Wicker Park. Since this is Halloween, we thought we might spook it up just a little. So we invited a few hundred of our closest, personal, undead friends. And then, threw in some challenging, crazy, fun obstacles. When we mixed the whole thing together, we got “The Running Dead”.
What is it? The Running Dead Chicago is open to teams or individuals. It kicks off with three different “Fun Runs”. The first “Fun Run” wave goes off promptly at 1PM, with additional waves going off at 2PM and 3PM. We will have a mixture of obstacles, both man-made and undead, that will get your heart pounding and your legs moving. Every runner gets the amazing, limited edition “The Running Dead” t-shirt AND just when you when you thought that was too much, we are also presenting you with the stunningly cool, “How did you get that?” “The Running Dead Competition Medallion”.
