Imagine yourself in a real-life zombie apocalypse. People you once called “friend” or “ally” now mercilessly hunt you down in the street. And why? Survive DC is a race for your life… Each year, two thousand participants gather in a secret location at sunset. Some participants have trained all year for this event. They come dressed as superheroes, villains and zombies. Some have even traveled thousands of miles to be at that spot at that exact moment…The moment the horn goes off. Survive DC follows four teams as they participate in a one-of-a-kind footrace through the streets of our nation’s capitol. They run, hide, strategies and con their way through the 15-mile, five-hour game. The race is free of charge, totally open-source, and very illegal. Like a zombie apocalypse, the infection spreads throughout the entire event, starting with the initial five Staff Chasers and infecting nearly all the contestants leaving only a few survivors by the end of the race. Once “infected,” Chasers can hunt rival teams, keeping their loyalty even though they are out of the competition. Others could turn on their own team members, taking the zombie metaphor quite literally.
