The Undead Invade Wichita Falls
"Running Dead" event brings Halloween fun to streets of Fallstown
Imagine the end. Strange barrels of toxic waste leak into our society and before you know it, the undead are wandering the streets. To get from one place to another, you have to run a gauntlet of zombies hidden along your route.
That was the premise for The Running Dead, an event in which residents of Wichita Falls walked (sometimes ran) a pre-mapped route with zombies waiting in all the little hidden spots in the alleys of downtown Wichita Falls.
Some came out in workout clothes and used The Running Dead as an excuse to get some exercise, walking much of the route but running when the undead appeared to chase them. In other instances, it was families with strollers, or young people looking for a harmless Halloween scare.
This year’s Running Dead event started and finished at Stone Oven Pizza and it was such a unique and fun event, we strongly hope to see an even bigger turnout next year.
