Muddy Details

• All humans racing, be it in a team event, elite athlete, fun run or kids run, must wear the correct attire which consists of running shoes, clothing, race bib (provided at pre-check in) and any additional protective clothing or flair that you desire. Mohawks, mullets and sweet mustaches are encouraged for the guys while lipstick and glitter is a go for the girls.
• It is required that you race at your pre-booked registration time. You must register and check in at least two hours before your race starts. We promise its less painful than going through airport security though.
• You will need to show your race bib or registration documentation at the front gate upon arrival at Buckelew Farm. If you do not have it, you will have to pay an entry fee to our pumpkin festival. Check our pricing details for details.
• Your flags need to be visible at all times during the race.
• Any contact with a zombie is forbidden. They are infected and smell bad. Intentional contact for any reason will get you disqualified.
• Cheating or skipping any obstacles will disqualify you from being eligible to win prize money. If an obstacle is too gnarly for you, it’s okay if you skip it by walking around it, you just can’t win any money and the shame is on you forever.
• Save the beer drinking for after the race. This is not a walk in the park, we live in Arizona. It’s probably going to be warm, there are desert critters out to assist the zombies so hydrate and prepare yourself for the race properly. Plus, unruly behavior will get you disqualified and escorted out of the farm. Be respectful, this is a family event.   We shouldn’t have to say it…. but we do…. if you appear to be intoxicated or under the influence Buckelew Farm has the right to not allow participation in events.  Safety first!
• Any minor participating in the 5k Zombie Mud Run must have a parent present and liability waiver signed.
• Minors under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times
• YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SWIM INDEPENDENTLY.
• If you are competing in one of the elite events, team or individual, you have to wear your race bib and race chip.
• We don’t allow pets at Buckelew Farm. They are just too easy of a meal for Zombies.
• We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who is being unruly, disrespectful or breaking the law. This is a family event on a family farm. Try hard, be good and have fun!! Oh…. and watch out for those ZOMBIES!!!!

The zombie mud run is for those who want to participate in the muddiest 5k on the planet.  Race to keep your limbs attached (aka. Flags) and escape the zombies.  This 12 pm run time is for individuals and teams who are trying to survive the zombies, mud and obstacles, however, not competing to win.  Great for team building events!  There will definitely be costume contests so get creative!
