Join 'Run For Your Lives' and Avoid Being Eaten by Zombies

— August 9, 2011 — Pop Culture
The clip that you see isn't a viral video nor is it a short film; instead, it's a trailer of an epic event dubbed 'Run For Your Lives.'

So you want to know what it's like to run away from flesh-eating zombies? Now you can actually fulfill that fantasy by participating in 'Run For Your Lives,' which is a huge race that takes place in Baltimore, MD. It's a five kilometer long run in which you will go through a series of 12 obstacles to get to the finish line -- while avoiding zombies! I assure you that this is very real and that if you live in the area, I highly suggest you join in.

The event will donate a portion of every ticket sold to the American Red Cross. So if you get eaten by the undead, know that you're turning into a zombie for a good cause.
