On a course through the secluded Kentucky woods, some people find out if they're fast enough to survive the zombie apocalypse, while others discover if they have what it takes to make a decent zombie. At the Terror in the Woods 5K Run, participants can choose which side to join: the runners or the zombies. As the living dash toward the finish line, the undead lurk among the trees, ready to pounce. The runners can expect to encounter obstacles, mud, and attacks without warning; the predators can expect to be transformed with costumes and makeup into grotesque versions of their human selves.
