The most terrifyingly fun 5K ever run. Get ready for the most terrifyingly fun 5k you will ever experience. One of the only nighttime zombie races in the world.
(21)
Survivors (runners) will navigate “Apocalypse Avenue” as they run a 5k course in downtown Grand Rapids between sunset and darkness. Keep your three “life strips” (flag football flags) safe to avoid infection (time penalties). All you have to do is dodge over 200 hungry zombies along the way!
Thanks to Bex Pix and Tom DeVette for the photography this weekend! Check out both albums here:

The word zombie comes from a collection of West African words.
The following words have all played a part in the creation of the word zombie.
“Nzambi,” meaning god and “zumbi,” and “nzumbie,” which means “fetish come from the Kongo.”
Another word that has contributed to creating the word zombie is “mvumbi,” which means a co**se that still keeps its soul.
“Nvumvi” is also similar in that it means a body without a soul.
When these words came over from West Africa, along with voodoo traditions, elements were taken to create the word zombie.

The fear of the undead has been around for hundreds of years and is evident in many forms.
One of the first civilizations thought to fear zombies was the Ancient Greeks.
This is seen through their burials, and archeologists have found evidence in Ancient Greek graves.
Rocks or weighty objects pinned down many of the skeletons found in these graves. It’s thought that this was to stop the dead from rising.
So it’s generally believed that the Ancient Greeks were some of the first to fear the dead rising.

Bike or run on gravel roads April 8, just outside of Grand Rapids!
Making the Short and Brutal a little less Brutal. This Saturday @ Robinette’s Orchard, Grand Rapids. Registration closes Thursday night.
The Short & Brutal course features four steep, rugged off-trail hill climbs including a sand dune. Like last year, three of the four occur one right after the other in the Provin Trails section. Pretty brutal indeed. Fortunately they are all within the first mile. The final hill is “The Wall”. It’s a hands-and-knees kind of hill climb, but because we’re so nice, we’ve installed three climbing ropes to help you get up it. :-) Registration ends for good on Thursday!
