PARTICPANT RACE PACK With our charity partner Thanks to our supporters
PLEASE FAMILARISE YOURSELF AND READ ALL INFORMATION For years experiments have been conducted at the MOD research institute Porters Down Dstl near Salisbury. Six months previous there was an explosion, and reports say that crazed individuals where seen fleeing the area. As we now all know from the news reports, a virus was released that day, that changed people into blood crazed Zombies intent on gorging on human flesh. Most towns and cities have fallen to the virus, and zombie hordes rampage around the countryside. Nowhere is safe! A newly formed military unit Zombie Elimination Roaming Operatives (ZERO Team aka Marshals) has set up a safe zone near Kings Park, Bournemouth. The route to this safe zone will not be easy, much of the infrastructure has been ruined. You will need to make your way through the obstacles and avoid the zombies blocking your path. ZERO team members have been seen on the route to assist as many survivors as possible. Follow the briefing and you may still survive!
