A 5K race coming up in October in Baltimore, Maryland has an interesting twist, in time for the Halloween season. Run the race and avoid the obstacles - ZOMBIES.

Runners will receive belts with flags on them representing their individual health. The zombies will be trying to grab this flags, simulating zombie attacks. If you lose all your flags, you are not only out of the race, but you are now a zombie too!

But, similar to video games, additional health bonuses, flags, will be available in random spots throughout the course. The goal is to be the first person to the finish line with at least one flag left. Hopefully the zombie who collects the most flags wins something too. The race date is October 22nd.
