Let's face it: Even if you're a champion sprinter on the race track, wouldn't you pick up a little speed if zombies were out to eat your brains? Even the exercise-averse are likely to hightail it with the hungry undead on their tails. That's the concept of Reed Street Production's...

Let's face it: Even if you're a champion sprinter on the race track, wouldn't you pick up a little speed if zombies were out to eat your brains? Even the exercise-averse are likely to hightail it with the hungry undead on their tails. That's the concept of Reed Street Production's Run For Your Lives, a 5K where participants can, as the name suggests, run for their lives - or, get zombiefied and play predator instead. The first edition of this sporty bloodbath launched in Darlington, Maryland, last October, and more than 10,000 people participated in the carnage as runners, zombie predators, or spectators. Now, the race has expanded to 12 cities nationwide -- and the zombies are set to invade Hialeah on February 9, 2013.
