- If you cannot make the race we can arrange for you to pickup your shirt at a later date but sorry no refunds.

Rules for Runners
- You must keep your flag belt and race bib on at all times.
- You cannot leave the course boundaries (set in advance) and specifically, you cannot step on concrete (sidewalks, driveways or likewise) at any time. You will be considered eaten and disqualified.
- You may wear anything you like (we hope you dress up!) but you must be able to get a flag belt around your waist and a race bib attached to your chest.
- If your flag gets ripped off by something other than a Zombie, well tough luck, think of it as you were injured by a nature. People can die during the Zombie apocalypse by other hazard other than zombies.
- Runners may not take each other flags. Any runner caught doing do will be asked to leave the course.
Rules for the undead
- Zombies don’t talk (at least not around humans) they may have conversation with each other when no one else is around
- Zombies are dead decaying corpses, if they were to run they would fall apart. Walk at all times.
- CNE Zombies only have a taste for Flags, do not touch the runners, they are yucky and sweaty. FLAGS ONLY!
- Zombies are hungry but their appetite is small, plus they like variety. They can only take one flag from each victim.
- Zombies are not very smart, while they do tend to gather in packs, they do not set traps, climb trees, etc.
- Zombies don’t talk (at least not around humans) they may have conversation with each other when no one else is around
