“A chemistry experiment gone wrong has resulted in the virus that is beginning the Zombie Apocalypse, and it is beginning at UCF. Our campus is being overrun by the living-dead and they are very, very hungry.”
A description like that is sure to garner a bit of interest.
UCF’s Campus Activites Board is teaming up with SGA and other community members for a UCF Zombie 5K run. The race will take place on April 11, beginning at 9:30 p.m. The registration deadline is April 5, with only a set amount of spots available. 
According to the event page, each runner will have two flags attached to their belt to represent their life. Runners will have to get those two lives, along with themselves, across campus into the safety zone.
“Obstacles may stand in your way and there’s a chance zombies have broken through our barricades – stay aware,” the site says. “We have been able to set up a few first aid stations along the path, if you lose a life it’s possible our medics can help.”
The race will begin at the UCF Teaching Academy and end at the Arena. Runners will only need to bring an ID. The race is only open to UCF students. Students can register to be either a runner, a zombie or an event volunteer.
