5KUnDead, Goodyear

For those of us more inclined to "flight" than "fight," the 5KUnDead is the race to run. The thrilling course is not only a healthy jaunt, but also an exciting game of chase that's designed to keep hearts pumping no matter what the pace. As participants jog to the finish line, they're greeted by hordes of wandering zombies who are bent on slowing them down. The zombies are tasked with capturing flags from the runners, all while the joggers run for their lives. In this all-ages event, participants can run the race or opt to do the chasing by becoming a zombie themselves with the help of on-site professional makeup artists.
