FIELD REPORT A covert analysis organized by the FOX VALLEY PARK DISTRICT

acting on the direct orders of the President, in response to the

escape of “Subject Z”, resulted in a unanimous consensus (4

August 2012) that the human subjects of ZONE 47 (FOX VALLEY PARK

DISTRICT) must be placed under a severe biohazard threat alert

RE: ATAXIC NEURODEGENRATIVE SATIETY DEFICIENCY (herein referred to as

“ZOMBIE TRANSFORMATION”).

ZOMBIE TRANSFORMATION is reported to be spreading amongst contaminated,

rotting human-like bodies (herein referred to as “ZOMBIES”) to the

general human populus. Please be advised, extreme caution is required.

The ZOMBIE INVASION is spreading... CAN YOU SURVIVE?

MISSION: HUMAN SURVIVALCOMPLETE THE 5K OBSTACLE COURSE AND REACH

THE SAFE ZONE TO SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE INVASION.

I. HEALTH and SURVIVAL A. All human subjects acknowledge forced entry into ZOMBIE territory enroute to the SAFE ZONE. C. Human subjects will be issued a flag belt with flags. D. The number of flags remaining on the belt reflect your current health status.

E. The flags are vulnerable to a ZOMBIE attack, and must be relinquished upon ZOMBIE contact. F. Subjects with flags at the end of the 5K course will be granted access to the SAFE ZONE. G. The loss of all flags will result in ZOMBIE INFECTION. INFECTED subjects are given a ZOMBIE medal at the end of the race and denied access to the SAFE ZONE.

II. OBSTACLES

A. The 5K course is an obstacle course, with both man-made and natural obstacles. Racers should expect to get wet and muddy. B. The obstacles are built to be physically challenging. C. The ZOMBIES lack the physical and mental ability required to complete obstacles, therefore cannot directly interfere with a human subject’s completion of an obstacle. D. Failure to complete an obstacle will result in the loss of a flag, further exposing the human subject to imminent ZOMBIE INFECTION. E. There will be opportunities on the course to EARN LIFE FLAGS.

III. DEPLOYMENT

A. Human subjects will be assigned to waves at the beginning of the race based on running times.

B. Racers will be deployed in different waves to equalize chances of survival.

C. Choose your allies wisely, as subjects only need to be faster than their slowest group member to survive a ZOMBIE attack.
