I hope everybody got a chance to check out their finish on YouTube. Just click on the video link next to your time in the results.

We will be back in 2016. We will be offering family and group entry discounts to make it easier for families and groups to join us for a scary fun race. Look for the website to be updated and entry to be open the middle of December.

Time to take a deep breath after running from all the Zombies at the Undead 5K. Our condolences to the UC Mountaineering Club, they showed up to help and promptly turned into Zombies. My advice, be careful going to UC as the Zombie Apocalypse must be in full swing down there.

Got the shirts ordered today. A very cool design and one you will for sure want to wear during the next Zombie Apocalypse.

I have heard through the Zombie grapevine that virtually every Zombie in Cincinnati will be at the Undead 5K. Good luck surviving that!

Can it be just under a month to the scariest and funnest 5K in Cincinnati? The Undead 5K, a 5 kilometer fun run and walk at Kingswood Park in Deerfield Township at 4pm on October 24. Navigate the 5k course through hordes of Zombies. Chip timed but the fastest won't necessarily survive. You have to be smart through the many twists, turns and challenges on the course. And then, of course, you have to listen to the Zombie jokes at the finish line, like this one, "What does a Zombie get when he is late for dinner? A cold shoulder.' HA!

Summer is ending. What does that mean? Zombie season is upon us. Just 8 weeks until the Undead 5K, a unique 5K Run/Walk where you time (and survival!) may just depend on how fast you can outrun the Zombies on the course.

Are you ready for Zombies? It is never too early to start planning for the Apocalypse. The Undead 5K, on October 24, is a timed 5K with lots and lots of Zombie's ready to feast on tasty runners. Special low entry fees go up on 1/15. When it comes to Zombies, it is best to plan ahead! Enter at www.undead5K.com

Just saw a press release about one of the mud runs featuring tear gas this year. So their plan is to gas you, burn you and electrocute you. On the other hand, you could try to get through a bunch of Zombies trying to eat your flesh and brains........

The Undead 5K website at www.undead5K.com is updated and registration is open. We have an all new course at Kingswood Park and have moved the race back to 4pm so we can have a very Zombie appropriate celebration at the end of the race.

27/10/2014

Got photos? If you have photos of any Zombies, or photos of you and friends out on the course, please send them to [email protected] and we will see if we cannot get them up on the website.

27/10/2014

What a great day! I hope that everybody had as much fun doing the Undead 5K as we did putting the race on. And thanks to our over 70 Zombies out on the course. I think we only had a few runners that did not make it back......

Stay tune for announcements about next year's race. Same date, registration opens soon.

21/10/2014

Wave change requests MUST be emailed and not communicated through facebook. The email address is [email protected]. Please do not email requests until you have checked your wave start assignment on October 21.

21/10/2014

We are working on the Pre-Race email right now and should email it to all participants sometime this afternoon. It will also be posted on the website. In addition, wave starts will be posted this afternoon. We will do our best to honor those who want to race in the same wave, just let us know BEFORE Oct. 23 at 8pm.

18/09/2014

Five weeks to go. Very cool shirts ordered. Lots of Zombies are standing by. Problem, though, we have all these Zombies standing by and it is very hard to control them from eating all of us. Can hardly wait to turn them loose. They will be very hungry.

08/09/2014

Ordering shirts, medals and other cool stuff for the race. We will get pictures of the finisher medals up soon!

27/08/2014

We have had a couple of questions about possibly doing the Undead 5K in the early evening. Let's keep that in mind for 2015. It is certainly something to think about. The folks at Deerfield Township are great and will certainly work with us if we want to change our start time in 2015.

We are back! The Undead 5K: The Zombie Apocalypse is scheduled for October 25 at Kingswood Park in Mason. We will be posting here when we have updates or news about the Undead 5K.

Runners traverse 5 kilometers of Zombie infested terrain. No worries, all the Zombies want to do is eat your brains and feast on your flesh. The course will challenge you with choices that may affect your survival. Do you have the wits and fitness to survive?

The object is to survive and cross the finish line with your "health" intact.

Finisher medals will be given to all finishers, alive or dead. Custom and unique awards are given to the top 3 survivors in in each age group.

This is not an obstacle or "mud" run. Avoiding Zombies and making correct choices to get to the finish line as quickly as possible is what this race is all about.

Runners will be issued 3 flags to wear on a belt. The flags represent your "health". As long as you have one flag you are still “alive". There will be "medical" stations on the course where you can get back a flag and so avoid becoming a Zombie.

The object is to cross the finish line - anyway you can - with at least one flag and YOU HAVE SURVIVED!

If the Zombies get your flags, well, your dead. You may have a chance to get another flag at one of our health stations or you can finish the race as part of the Undead.

There will be two finish divisions, those who have survived and who will be eligible for age group awards, and the Undead, who will still get their time.

All registrants receive a T-shirt and Finisher Medal.

Bring the kids! Kids under 10 need to be accompanied by an adult.

Please feel free to wear a costume of your choice. In deference to our Zombies, whose feelings are very sensitive, please do not wear a Zombie costume.

The Undead 5K will start in waves, with the first wave starting at 8:00am.

Packet pickup will be on Friday, October 24 from 4-7pm and again on Race Day at 6am at Kingswood Park.

Oh, one more thing. Just watched World War Z. Best. Zombie. Movie. Ever. Except for maybe Day of the Dead. At any rate, we promise our Zombies will NOT be as fast as World War Z.

Calling all Zombies! Need to find an outlet for that insatiable urge for brains and flesh? Well, we have the perfect outlet for you. Go to www.undead5k.com and sign up to be a Zombie at the Undead 5K. We'll make you up, take a photo, supply a custom shirt, food and beer in addition to all flesh you can eat.

01/10/2013

We have finalized our obstacles for the Zombie Run and think it is appropriate for participants to be a younger than our 14 year old cut off. Accordingly, we are lowering our age to 10. So 10 and up may participate!

26/09/2013

Just got back from 2 hours out on the course. Had a lot of fun designing the obstacles. We will reveal the obstacles on race day so right now they are a big secret. The Undead 5K is a chip timed race where the top three in each age group will receive awards. As such, our obstacles are designed, not as death defying (or causing as the case may be), but more to offer choices. Some choices may reward you, other choices may kill you (by a Zombie, not a death obstacle). Some choices may cause massive delays, some might send you backward on the course. We are not telling....

Check out the poster that is going up all over town. Look for it at running shops, fitness centers - everywhere we can fit one.

Here is how the Undead 5K works. We start in waves of about 200. First wave goes at 4pm. You are issued 3 lives (worn on your belt like Flag Football). The Zombies will try to take your "lives". If you lose all 3, you're dead. There will be obstacles on the course. These obstacles are not "tough mudder" obstacles designed to really kill you but are instead designed to help you avoid Zombies. Obstacles will have Zombie filled shortcuts and safer, but longer, paths. At least one obstacle will offer an opportunity to get a life back. This will be a chip timed race, with awards in each age group, so each obstacle you will face choices - short but zombie filled or longer but safer? Finisher medals are given to all who cross the finish line. After the race, even if you are dead, you can come hang out at the Whole Foods Zombie Jamboree and eat some great food prepared by Whole Foods.

HUGE NEWS!!!! Whole Foods and their Executive Chef team will be catering the Zombie Jamboree. Every entrant will get a meal from the folks at Whole Foods, Mason. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Rhinegeist Brewery will be on hand with their best brews including - maybe - their Halloween Black Beer. Every athlete (over 21) will get one free beer. The Zombie Jamboree is going to be epic!

11/09/2013

Got the finisher medals ordered, got the obstacles designed and got the beer ordered. It's all coming together. Stay tuned, we have some big announcements to make soon.

30/08/2013

Going out to Kingswood Park to survey the park for our obstacles. Anybody have an earth movers? Kidding! Kidding!

27/08/2013

We are starting to plan our obstacles. Lots of surprises await. If you want to be a Zombie better get on it!

19/06/2013

Just 4 months to go until Cincinnati's first and most original Zombie run. We are in full planning mode and will be updating things as we get closer. We have two of four the four major obstacles planned (which is not to say there will not be more challenges....)

06/05/2013

No Zombies at the Flying Pig last weekend. Have no fear, we will have Zombies on October 26. Strike that, have some fear, lots of fear.

12/04/2013

Swinging obstacles sound interesting. How about that credit card commercial with the swinging ax? OK, just kidding. I saw Tough Mudder on the news. The obstacles looked death defying. Our will be more on the fun side. Of course, no guarantees about the zombies.......

31/03/2013

Like this page and post your idea for an obstacle that we can use for the race. If we pick your obstacle you win an entry into the Undead 5K for life!

27/02/2013

The Crystal Skull...... Huh? Stay tuned.

18/02/2013

Scored some great awards for the Undead 5K. Scary? You bet. And wait until you see our Finisher Medals!

Some questions about the obstacles. No fire. No electricity. Just some task oriented obstacles to help you survive the Zombie Apocalypse.
