These ghoulish undead characters were waiting to prey on participants in Sunday’s Zombie Run at the Sportsplex



Zombies were out in full force at Willow Point Park on Sunday for the annual Zombie Run.

Runners test their survival skills, speed, strength and endurance through 3 or 5 km of obstacles, all while being chased by starving zombies.

Runners over a 3 or 5 km. course had to avoid the undead along the route where they sometimes lay in wait in the middle of the trail (pretending to be ‘dead’) and then chased down their victims to capture their velcro flags. Sometimes (middle picture) they turned on each other when they got impatient waiting for live victims. But there were many runners coming through in waves.

Sunny skies and warm winds didn’t see to deter the undead as they took advantage of the situation to take revenge on the living.
