Costumes optional but recommended.

Club-sponsored BBQ to follow. Please bring an appetizer, side dish, salad, or dessert to share with the paddling community.

As for the race itself, it’s a mass start race in with zombies on the course. If you get tagged by a zombie, you’re a zombie and you try to zombify the other racers.

Sorry about the cost and the long waiver. Needless to say, they are related and KCCNY is not planning on making money on this event. Any profit will go into the BBQ (and then some).

Volunteers needed still needed for BBQ afterwards. Contact us if you can help.

Youths (under 18) will need to fill out with their parent or guardian this zomgaup waiver and have adult accompany them throughout the event. Please indicate in the comments who will be accompanying and upload the waiver using our equipment upload form at the bottom of this page as we don’t want to create a form just for this event.

ESCAPE FROM ZOMGAUP – PART 3 – RULES

(9.5′ Boat Length Max)
Objective: Reach the extraction zone prior to the time limit without getting infected.
Check-in at the Put-in at 1pm; Event starts at 1:50pm

1) If a zombie tags a participant’s boat, gear or body with their hand, the participant is “infected”.
2) Once infected, the participant must safely and immediately stop evading the zombie and surrender their token, at which time they become a zombie and try to infect other participants.
3) Zombies must secure the token prior to infecting additional participants.
4) Zombies may not sneak up on participants. Play the part! Give a groan, growl, hiss or other zombie-like noises.
5)   Zombies may not coordinate with other zombies. No cattle herding!
6) Absolutely no boat ramming, pulling skirts, purposefully flipping anyone over or paddle chopping!
7) All participants and Zombies must follow the direction of safety boaters.
8) Any swimmers are eliminated.
9) TIME LIMIT… The event ends 30 minutes after evacuation begins. Any participants/zombies that have not made it to the safe zone will be eliminated due to an imminent “nuclear strike” (air horn will sound).
10) FINISH LINE… Make sure to see the time keepers at the evacuation zone to get your race time and zombie points recorded.
