Survivors screamed and yelled as they ducked and dodged zombies, sprinting, crawling and sliding for their lives during Peninsula College’s 2015 Pirate Zombie Mud Run on Saturday, May 16.
269 total participants, including 137 in the 16 and over race alone, competed in the 5k race which featured an obstacle course traversing the woods behind campus, complete with a water slide at the finish line.
Throughout the previous week, PC students participated in the Zombie Tag competition where roughly half of the participating students were Zombies and the other half were humans. The zombies would attempt to tag the humans and essentially turn them into zombies.
Emanuel Herrera was the last remaining survivor, winning the week-long competition by utilizing an antidote he received from donating blood during the blood drive.
Bloodworks Northwest put on a blood-drive, Wednesday, in the PUB, with more than 25 people donating blood. Donors received an antidote which gave them an extra-life in the week-long Zombie Tag competition on campus.
