Fun Fitness Event in Sanger to Benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

The Grove in Sanger is hosting The Mud ‘n Blood Zombie Run on Sunday, June 2, 2013 to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  The event begins at 7:00 a.m.

Runners can choose a 2.5k or 5k course.  Participants are encouraged to dress in Zombie costumes.  The course winds through blueberry fields, tree lined roads, over and through water crossings and includes ups and downs and ins and outs obstacles. Some of the obstacles are hard, some are very hard.  Runners can choose to skip the obstacles.

Each participant will start the race with three flags. The object is to finish the course as fast as possible with at least one flag left. Zombies on the trail will try to steal flags from the runners. “Medics” will be placed throughout the course to give back one flag, one time.
