This past Saturday, I participated in the Zombie Survivor Challenge. It was part of a 3 day zombie convention, called Infect Scranton, in my area.

I don’t normally do really athletic things, so I was excited to be active and get dirty.

The Zombie Survivor Challenge was 3 miles of running, obstacles and zombies. It was like a flag- football style 5K. I started as a “human” with 3 flags. I did the whole thing in about an hour and ended with 2 flags! So, I got a “Survivor” medal vs. the people with no flags that were “Infected”. The obstacles included tubes, tunnels, walls, tires, barrels, water, mud, etc.

I had so much fun and look forward to doing it again next year! (Click images to view larger.)

There were some professional photographers at the event. They took awesome muddy finish photos.

After the Zombie Survivor Challenge, the Infect Scranton convention took place at a high school. I was pretty tired, but went for a little bit. If you are into zombie comics, books, and old zombie movies you would really enjoy this convention.

I met IronE Singleton who plays T-Dog on The Walking Dead.

I love The Walking Dead and Rick Grimes, so I had to buy this awesome T-shirt from The Con Girls. (I showed it off in an Instagram collage lol)

I even customized my shirt for the 5k…
