Zombie Run
Friday, October 29 | 7:15 am Run for your lives at the Eglin Fitness Center's Zombie Run! All with base access are invited to participate in the 1.5-mile run starting at the entrance of the Fitness Field House (Bldg 741). Participants will be given a belt with flags that represent your health. Zombies will try to take your flags—and maybe eat your brains! Use speed, strategy and your intact brains to make it to the finish “alive” with at least one flag intact. If you cross the finish line with at least one flag, then you'll receive a “Survivor” medal; if you cross with no flags, then you'll receive an “Infected” medal. Register on the Eglin Fitness Center's Facebook page, and contact SSgt Morris to learn more. 850-882-4229
