UK: Zombie race takes over England A volunteer "zombie" waits for participants during one of Britain's biggest horror events, the "Zombie Evacuation Race" at Carver Barracks near Saffron Walden, England, on October 5, 2013. The race sees thousands of participants attempt to complete a gruelling 5 kilometre cross-country run, while evading "zombies", intent on snatching the three life-line strips hanging from every runner's waist. Those who manage to get through with any strips remaining are named as survivors while those without take home an "infected" badge. Images and soundbites.
