Safety: To ensure the safety of our runners and zombies, we will have Lyceum staff and parent volunteers with all high school student zombie groups and throughout the course. They will serve as referees for the course to enforce the rules/safety of everyone involved. Referees have the final say in any dispute and can have runners or zombies removed if they are not following the safety rules. We will also have EMS and law enforcement on site as well in the case of an emergency. 

Age Limits:  The Zombie 5k is limited to runners age 12 and up. Middle school age runners are suggested to have an adult run with them. 

Rules: 

1. Zombies will not physically contact any runner other than in an attempt to pull a flag.
2. Direct and intentional physical contact (pulling, grabbing, pushing, striking, blocking etc.) between zombies, runners, and/or volunteers will not be permitted.
3. Participants that violate these rules will be disqualified and escorted off the course. Zombies and volunteers that violate these rules will be escorted off the course as well.
4. Zombies can never grab more than one flag from a runner at one time.
5. Runners must remain on the course at all times. Runners that do not stay on the course will be disqualified. 
6. Participants, zombies, and volunteers cannot engage in vulgar, offensive language or taunting. 
7. Zombies must stay in their designed zones and follow the instructions of their referee. Refusal to do so will result in removal from the event. 

Runner Equipment:

1. Flag belts, runner bib, and glow bracelets will be provided. Runners must wear all three. 
2. Runners can not have shorts with pockets. If you have shorts with pockets, tape them closed prior to the race. 
3. Runners must wear tennis/athletic shoes. 
4. Runners can not wear hoodies with pockets.
5. T-shirts/tops or any other clothing must not prohibit access to flags in any way.
