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!

Run Galway Bay 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon is set to return to the shores of Galway Bay on October 6th, 2018. The largest multi-distance running event in Galway City attracted a record number of over 3,200 people to the City of the Tribes in 2017 and is expected to increase in numbers again next year.
The 2017 event sold out well in advance so don’t delay in booking your place as you won’t want to miss out on the 2018 edition of this fabulous event.
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
