The Zombie Invasion

Yesterday I went for Zombie Run 2014 at Putrajaya in conjunction with Hari Belia 2014. There are various time slots and each time slots last 1 hour and we registered for the 5pm slot.

Since there’s a few event going on at the same time in Putrajaya, we decided to gather at Wan Ling’s house, parked our car there and car pool to Putrajaya.

We left Wan Ling’s house about 3.30pm and reached Putrajaya at 4.10pm. There was congestion on the road heading towards Precinct 2, 3 and 4 so we decided to just park along the road side and walked to Precinct 4 as the Zombie Run was next to Galleria Precinct 4. The walk to the starting line was about 2km, but we had no choice as we can’t get any closer parking to the event place.

Once we reached at the registration counter, we registered ourselves and we were given the race bibs. The bibs have a small triangle flag attached to it which will represent our lives during the run. We have to keep the flag safe from the zombies during the run.

At 5pm, the team captains were called for a short briefing about the run and they explained to us some rules and regulations. Apparently the run was mot 8km like we saw online, it was only 800m with some obstacles. We had to do military crawl and went in a haunted house before reaching the finish line.

They released us group by group and we were the third group to be released. The zombies are fast and you cannot stand still or else you’ll die. They will creep up behind you while you run and snatch your flag. Within 10 minutes all of my team mates were killed by the zombies.

L for losers. None of us survived the zombie attack

It was an interesting experience. My first zombie run and it was fun. I will definitely participate again next year if they organize it. At the end, we took photos with the zombies before heading home.
