Will you make it out?
The day started out normally enough, but it didn’t take more than one cup of coffee before you realized that calamity had struck.
Zombies flooded the street… some kind of medical accident run amok? You get a clear alert on your phone: there’s a military bunker 60 miles north of the city and they’re accepting survivors.
The streets are blocked with derelict vehicles so you’ll have to go on foot. You grab your “go” bag and prepare to head out. Only one question remains: do you bring friends or go it alone?
Outbreak medals are always earned, never given
The Outbreak: Escape is a distance-based race. You have 30 days maximum to cover 60 miles (approximately 120,000 total steps at 3000 to 4000 steps per day). Finish within the maximum time allowed and we’ll mail you an epic finishers medal. The faster you finish, the better your score.
NOTE: You must complete the race in the allotted time to earn your medal.

Was a bit overwhelmed by the thought of 60 miles, but thankfully I had the opportunity to complete the race early and its really not so bad when youre being chased by a horde of zombies. Plus, I was able to compete on my own, solo team which is great for folks who arent the best w group projects LOL
