The Zombies Are Coming

Run for your life at an undead obstacle course race this Saturday.

THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING
It stands to reason that Pittsburgh would host a zombie-themed race. After all, we love zombies, we’ve come to love races — and everybody gets excited about a crowd of frantic civilians pursued by a horde of undead brain-eaters. Of course, a regular racetrack is a poor simulation of an actual zombie outbreak, which is why this Saturday’s Run for Your Lives race is also a physically challenging obstacle course. Even the survivors end up soaked, slathered in mud, and exhausted from all the climbing and crawling.

(Switchback Raceway, 2469 Route 8, Butler; 9 a.m. start time; runforyourlives.com)
