Are you ready for the most exhilarating, heart-pounding, and adrenaline-fueled event of the year? Brace yourself for "Survive the Zombie Apocalypse, an unforgettable experience that combines running, survival skills, and a dash of fear to support a great cause!

The Mission:
The world is on the brink of chaos, and the only hope lies within the Red Cross headquarters. Embark on a daring journey through a park infested with zombies. Your goal: reach the Red Cross outpost, secure the cure, and make it back to headquarters before it's too late!

The Challenge:
As you navigate through the treacherous terrain, zombies will be hot on your heels, trying to tag the back of your shirt with fake blood. Your survival instincts will be put to the test as you dodge, and duck your way through this relentless horde. Will you emerge unscathed and save humanity, or become a zombie's next meal?
