Hundreds of runners were asked this morning to navigate a 5K course filled with zombies at Darien Lake Theme Park.
The rUNDEAD race was held to benefit Special Olympics and organized and supported by volunteers from throughout WNY, including a collection of zombies near the finish line who a part of the same group in Tonawanda.
Each runner was issued three flags. Those who managed to make it through the course with at least one flag was eligible for a prize. The zombies, rather than seeking the brains of runners, were hungry for flags.
Speed seemed essential when a runner needed to sprint through a gauntlet of zombies.
