Zombie Run
2018-10-06 | The Jungle (County Derry), 60 Desertmartin Rd, Moneymore, BT45 7RB
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES AT THE JUNGLE NI!
Ireland’s original Zombie Run at The Jungle, challenges participants to complete a daring 6K obstacle trail run while being chased by blood-thirsty, running Zombies.
The Zombie Run returns this year and will take place on Saturday 6th October and Sunday 7th October 2018
This year’s course will be a challenging 6K obstacle run, complete with various ‘infected zones’ where you will be faced with the task of evading our life stealing zombies. It will also have a disorientating Cornfield Maze to find your way through and lots of painstaking obstacles to conquer such as the exhilarating Giant Water Slide, the slippery Slip N Slide and many more. As usual, we will have few other spooky surprises to make it a little more daunting.
On the Sunday we have the kids Zombie Run with a 2km and 6km zombie chasing course.
It’s an obstacle run with a fiendish Halloween twist – think Rampage meets The Walking Dead!
Each runner starts with THREE lives (represented by flags worn about the waist) but, in addition to the running, the overcoming of obstacles and the manoeuvering through mud, runners also face ZOMBIES who will give chase in attempt to steal one of their three lives.
The runner’s objective is to make it to the finish line with as many lives as possible intact.
The Zombie’s objective, however, is to steal your lives, so when you hear gun shot be prepared to run, for you only have three lives and the monstrous, prowling zombies are a determined bunch!

5 Reasons why you and your friends should do this.

It’s Fabulous

Run or walk this amazing 10K or Half Marathon route which takes in the longest seaside promenade in Europe. The scenery is breathtaking with spectacular views of the Clare mountains across Galway Bay and the wild Atlantic Ocean. Come for the weekend – there is too much to see and do in just a day!

It’s Famous

The race starts and finishes alongside the famous Claddagh Quay on the edge of Galway City. It was formerly a fishing village, just outside the old city walls and is also the home of the world famous Claddagh ring. So if romance is in the air this is the place for you.

It’s Fun

If you are visiting for the weekend you’ll get to enjoy the best of both worlds as the quaint Medieval City and the vast Seaside resort of Salthill sit side by side offering a host of pubs, restaurants and plenty to do for all ages.
Perfect to do with family and friends!

It’s Flat

The course is great for new runners who want to avoid hills and it’s even better for fast runners who are looking for a personal best!. Starting at the Claddagh, participants run along the closed road through the heart of Salthill and return on the promenade and the newly surfaced area beyond Blackrock.

It’s Friendly

Age Action: Age Action was established in 1992 with the mission to promote positive ageing, challenging negative stereotyping of older persons as dependent and in need, and mobilised and empowered older people. Since then Age Action has become the leading advocacy organisation for older people and is the “voice” of older people.
The partnership between Bank of Ireland and Age Action aims to support older people and allow them to remain active and stay connected in their communities. It combines volunteering, fundraising and financial support as well as providing teaching on the basics of the internet and digital world through Tea & Tech sessions.

Route description and map:
The 5K event starts in Sean Moore Park just outside Clanna Gael Fontenoy GAA clubhouse (where registration takes place). The route follows the perimeter of the park around in an anti-clockwise direction on the tarmac park path.
Just before 1km the route leaves the park and hits the beach. The route follows the beach before ascending Sandymount promenade. It follows the promenade to the end before descending again to the beach just 100m short of the turn point.
The route rounds the turn and heads for home following the beach all the way back to the Sean Moore park. Upon re-entering the park, it’s a right turn clockwise for the last couple of hundred metres and the welcome sight of the finish gantry where the race started. This route will be timed, marked and marshalled.
Number and T-shirt pick up:

5pm to 7.30pm Monday 24th September at Women’s Aid, 5 Wilton Place, Dublin 2.
