The Second Annual Braveheart Dog Walk of the Dead Zombie 5k will be held at 5 pm on Saturday, October 26, 2019 at Texas Live! in support of Braveheart Animal Rescue. Share a fun morning with us at Texas Live! and Richard Green Linear Park where Zombies have taken over and only the brave will survive! Make your way through the trails and avoid having your flags taken by zombie’s that are running the race too!

ABOUT THE RACE You have 3 options to sign up for:
Human Runner – Complete the race with the fastest time while trying to avoid the zombies and dodge the zombie roamers. Human runners will wear a survival belt with 3 flags on it, with the goal of finishing the race with all the flags. Those that finish with at least 1 flag will finish as a Survivor and those that finish without any flags finish as an infected zombie.

Zombie Roamers – Roamer shirt cost $10. These roamers are providing interference and also are trying to grab flags from the humans. Roamers will be limited to a specifically assigned area.

Zombie 1 mile fun run/walk – This is a 1 mile run/walk that you can do with or without your canine companion. This will start 30 minutes after the 5k starts. Feel free to dress up still and dress up your dog too!

All runner participants will take home a finisher’s medal based on finishing as a Survivor or Infected. Fun awards will also be given to participants with the best Human and best dog zombie costume, The highest fundraising team and more to be determined later. Check back for updates!

There will be a fun after party at Texas Live! in The Backyard, with live music, different vendors and other fun activities. Enjoy food from any of the restaurants that are part of Texas Live! The venue will be open at 4pm for check-in, last minute registrations and packet pickups. Spectators are welcome to hang out in the Backyard or watch along the route of the race but watch out for Zombies!

THE CAUSE
All proceeds raised benefit Braveheart Animal Rescue’s mission to Rescue animals from local animal shelters, focusing on “Code Red” (at-risk and injured) animals in need of immediate attention and to Educate the public on the importance of Spay & Neuter programs and all the low-cost options available in our community. They rescue unwanted, abandoned, injured, or ill companion animals — primarily from “high kill” shelters and owner surrenders. They place these animals in foster homes where they can receive proper veterinary care, rehabilitation, and rest in order to prepare them to go to their forever homes. Their intention is to work within our community and educate pet owners on the importance of spaying and neutering their companion animals in order to assist with the reduction of unwanted animals. They also focus on programs that educate both our community and potential adopters on the fact that animals are a lifelong commitment — and to help them realistically prepare for that commitment.
