Zombie Race Toledo 2014: The Undead were again vanquished! PART I: Z.E.R.T.

Another Zombie Race occurred for the second time in Holland, Ohio. What is the Zombie Race you ask...

Z.E.R.T. Soldiers turn the tide in their favor!


  • A 5k or 15 Race through a secluded  woods  in Northern Ohio were the Undead- namely Zombies attempted to 'Kill' you
  • You can run as a Zombie too...interesting thought for next year for me!
  • Each 'Survivor' (runner) is given a belt with 3 stripes of plastic- The Zombies attempt to pull the stripes off of you until you are dead, i.e no stripes left. You can still finish the Race though.
Great fun for the whole Family!

So I planned on bringing a camera into the event when I ran. I am still at the 5k level (and glad I didn't do the 15k!) I was really tired by the end of the run.I actually had 2 'Life' Stripes at the end!

I befriended a great group of Zombie enthusiasts, Z.E.R.T. or Zombie Eradication Response Team. A worldwide group of well-trained preparedness-buffs, they mix the Zombie genre with real-life need to know training they can provide. We  talked about he real floods recently and water shortages. Z.E.R.T. is trained in how to get ready for the said events. 

       CHECK OUT A  Z.E.R.T SOLDIER TALKING ABOUT                                                            SURVIVAL

This squad of Z.E.R.T. soldiers had a decked-out car with all the cool decals including Umbrella Corporation made famous from the 'Resident Evil' games and Movies. They did all the Decals themselves and are quite talented.

Runners can camp for the Weekend on the grounds!


They mentioned they chose the Zombie Race over some actual Range Training...a hard decision for sure!

More to come on this great group! Also, alot more pictures and Video! Most of them will be on our FACEBOOK PAGE! CHECK IT OUT!
