Five
thousand runners, coming from all walks of life, converged in Nuvali
for what turned out to be an exciting and hair-raising fun-filled
event as the participants were divided into 25 separate waves to take
on a five-kilometer obstacle course filled with 200 bloodthirsty
zombies looking to take the lives of the runners.
Of
course, by lives, we don't mean real human lives but ''life flags''
that were given to all five thousand participants. Each runner was
given three flags that represent their lives in the run and they have
to stay alive and finish the entire five-kilometer obstacle course
while trying to fend off all these zombies from taking all their
flags away.
It
was a different fun run as the participants were as creative as the
event. One came dressed up as The Flash, probably thinking that the
suit would let him be fast enough to run away from the zombies
scattered all over the course. We also saw somebody dressed up as
Michael Phelps, complete with goggles, a swimming cap, and nothing
else on but a pair of board shorts and a funny-looking duck
lifesaver.
Boardwalk
offered the runners with some cool shirts to let the participants
tell their own stories how they survived Outbreak Manila. And the
best part about this one is, they can go get one even if they did not
actually survive.
Immortalizing
the outbreak, Boardwalk also let the participants get their pictures
taken in our photo wall as each one of them came home with a huge
smile on their faces.
Outbreak
Manila was a huge success and with Boardwalk joining in on the fun,
we'll never look at zombies the same again.
