X – Run of the Dead Elimination Run – X

2020:

2020 deserves all the “birds” we can throw at it. While our 6th year of Run of the Dead Elimination Run was scheduled for October 25th, 2020, it was decided in May that the event will be cancelled.

Buuuut…

A non-traditional 6-loop version of Run of the Dead will be held from October 1st – October 31st. Participants will register and READ THE FUCKIN’ RULES via the Eventbrite link below. This event is free and intended for LRC participants only, and made possible by LRC members who donated in 2020. THANK YOU!

It sucks we can’t be together but at least Running’s Not Dead! Share your runs, “birds”, experience virtually by tagging @runofthedeadeliminationrun and use the #runofthedeader pound sign.

Register HERE.
