From the Organizer
Think you can outrun the undead?
This October, Waldo MX transforms into a haunted off-road survival course for a one-of-a-kind Zombie Run through dirt, woods, open terrain, and obstacle zones. Walkers, runners, and crawlers are all welcome — but once you enter the course, survival is the name of the game.
Each runner starts with flag-football-style life flags worn around the waist. Protect them at all costs. Zombies will be stationed throughout the course, waiting in infected zones to chase you down and steal your lives. Lose all your flags and you’re officially infected — but you can still finish the course. Make it to the end with at least one flag and you finish as a Survivor.
Along the way, participants will face obstacles, safe zones, water stations, photo spots, and a few Halloween surprises hiding around the property. Come with friends, bring your best costume energy, and remember: you don’t have to be the fastest… just don’t be the slowest.
Whether you’re racing for survival, walking for fun, or crawling your way through the apocalypse, the Zombie Run at Waldo MX is built for a scary-good time.
Date: Saturday, October 24 Location: Waldo MX & Event Grounds Who can join: Runners, walkers, families, friend groups, and anyone brave enough to face the horde
