The zombie-themed 5K obstacle course, Run For Your Lives, was one of our favorite events of the year. We participated in the Pittsburgh race earlier this month and have been talking about getting into another race ever since. This is only the first year the event has expanded to multiple cities, and it appears to have been a huge success, as the 2013 dates have already been announced.

As you'll notice from the list below, specific cities have not been listed for all dates. However, we believe that they will be in similar locations or the same locations that they were this year. Depending on the area, these locations sell out quickly, so if you're really interested, be sure to reserve your spot as a runner or zombie. We're planning on taking part in the Pittsburgh race in 2013, for any Daily Dead readers who want to join us.

If you can't hold out until 2013, there are a few races left this year that haven't sold out in Maryland, Florida, and Texas. For more information about the event and locations, visit: http://runforyourlives.com/#!/home
