Description
By Annette Sisco in The Advocate: " Zombies are in style everywhere these days, but they never went out of fashion in New Orleans. That might explain why the Zombie Run this Sunday in City Park had 400 people signed up to play the role of the undead, ready to lurch along a 5K course to give “human” runners a little extra jolt of motivation.
“Absolutely! What better city to come to?” exclaimed Alisha Allen, event director of the Zombie Run, which has its headquarters in Philadelphia (another nice old city with buried secrets).
Moss-draped and vast, City Park can have an eerie vibe even without boys and ghouls running rampant. “It’s gorgeous, it’s huge,” Allen said. “There’s really so much potential: abandoned buildings, gravel, fields, waterways. It really worked.”
The run is a cross between flag football and “Night of the Living Dead,” with a fun afterparty. Runners will set out at 7 a.m., wearing belts festooned with heart-shaped balloons that represent their vital organs. Zombies, meanwhile, will be stationed in five zones along the course, intent on seizing those balloons. At the finish line, survivors’ honors will go to those who have guts."
