Halloween obstacle race
I haven't pulled together plans for the upcoming 3-day July 4th weekend, but for those of you who mark their calendars way ahead ... there's a Halloween-season 5K with a twist in the works.
Run for Your Lives promises a zombie-infested 5k in Darlington. There will also be 12 obstacles -- races with obstacles are increasingly popular -- as well as choices of routes. That means this race will require a little more than the ability to sprint away from zombies trying to get your flags. There's some strategy and navigation in here too.
Plans call for the other side of the finish line to have an "apocalypse party."
Behind the event are two Marylanders, promoters say. Ryan Hogan, managing member of Reed Street Productions LLC in Bel Air, owns warwear, the performance apparel & accessories company that has been a sponsor of other events. He approached Derrick Smith about creating an event that included obstacles. Smith added the zombies. And there you have it.

Not a bad idea. Will costumes be allowed or encouraged or required?

What about crossbows?
