CAN YOU OUTRUN THE PACK?
Your mission takes you into the heart of the forest in search of Crusoe, the treetop fortress of The Wardens, a group of survivors who’ve formed their own society living with the land.
It’s rumored that The Wardens have a secret weapon against the zombie virus, but their enclave has come under siege and a ravenous pack of zombie wolves has caught your scent and is in fast pursuit.
You’ll need to cover 90 miles while the wolfpack chases you at an unforgiving 8,000 steps per day.
90 miles
365-day maximum
Optional Medal for finishers
Verified steps only
The Outbreak syncs steps and workouts from Apple Health (iOS) and Google Fit (Android), which connect activity from hundreds of fitness trackers and apps.
And because Apple Health and Google Fit can sync steps directly from the smartphone’s internal pedometer, using a fitness tracker is purely optional.
Outbreak medals are always earned, never given. Manual step entry is disabled for this race.

the wolves look like their booking it but didn’t catch us. 90 days is way too long but still fun

Tough pace on this one because they made the zombies wolves and those have a high “chasing step count.” It’s what I wanted though and it kept me moving.
GIVE ME MORE RACES PLEASE!!!

I’ll be honest. I just wanted the medal because I thought it looked cool. But going through the challenge was actually really fun, and got me to enjoy getting some exercise in.

Everyday, I checked on the current status of my steps, and how far I was from finishing which motivated me to move whenever possible, to beat the zombies, heal myself by making more steps. My kids will also check on it and say ” mom, the zombies are coming to get you”… Move now.. 🙂 the excitement and motivation keeps you going plus the fact it makes you active everyday

It truly made me realize how much I needed to walk. I felt better mentally and physically. I also liked the group chat which encouraged us to walk. The medal shipped quickly and is really cool. Would recommend!
