The Zombie Mud Run
On September 19, 2015, the undead are back to haunt the boardwalk of Wildwoods, NJ during The Zombie Mud Run, a post-apocalyptic 5K obstacle race along the beach and piers.

Combining both natural and manmade hurdles, the course will take participants through the ocean, under the boardwalk to the deep, dark, recesses of the unknown, down Morey’s Piers’ famed 60 feet tall six-lane water slide – WipeOut!, and a ride on Morey’s Great White wooden roller coaster. *Must meet all safety and height requirements to ride.
During the race, “Humans” will wear a flag football belt with three flags, representing their vital organs, which “Zombie” participants will try to “eat” by capturing the flag. Whether you survive or get infected, everyone is invited to refuel at Wrecker’s Beach Grille located at Raging Waters Water Park located at the end of Mariner’s Pier. A variety of food and beverages will be available for purchase, including a selection of beers for those 21 years and older.
To participate as a “Human” or “Zombie,” runners must be 13 years of age or older and pre-register at www.moreyspiers.com/zombierun.
