I love You, Glory Days


The crowd, the lights, the smell of over-cooked meat on an enormous BBQ...I miss all of it. I miss being on a team, inside jokes and the camaraderie of competition. I miss it so much I built a race series to bring it back.

At Humocross we work hard to build a high school/college sports atmosphere for our athletes. Marching bands play, your family watches you race and the local community is part of the action. It's like a trip back to 1991.

Teams
Build a team in your office, Church or gym and work together to crush the competition on race day. Training with a team is one of the best ways to improve your life and be a happier person.

Train
Work with local trainers to build a plan, sign-up for a boot camp or use your charismatic personality to get the aforementioned team out to the park on Saturdays for a workout. You are much more likely to achieve your goals with a plan and a target event. Humocross offers very short race options so there is no reason to be intimidated and no excuse for not trying.

Spectators
We don't charge for spectators (other than parking) so your whole office, Church, gym and family can cheer you on without having to spend a fortune.

Enjoy
Stretch out, toe the starting line, breathe in the smokey BBQ air, check the stands for your girl (throw her a casual wink if you're so bold) and remember what it's like to feel like a Champion.

Zombie Survival Race: Course Guidelines


Humans enter the Survival Course at a standard starting gate. Once on the track they are subjected to several types of attacks.

Attacks
  1. Chase Down: Zombies bust out in an all-out run and take down the slowest humans.
  2. Lumbering: Slow moving Zombies amble about at "choke points" on the course.
  3. Sneaky: Zombies are ambling in places where humans can't see them until it's too late for anything other than evasive action.
Our course designers are sadists so expect the most horrible sequence possible.

Obstacles
  1. Zombies are the primary obstacle on the course.
  2. Obstacles act as barriers between Zombie attacks (see "Things Zombies Can't Do").
  3. Motocross tracks are tough to navigate on foot so most of the obstacles are easy to negotiate while running as fast possible...15 minutes in to a Zombie assault.
Decision Points
  1. Each course offers choices between Zombies and physical exertion.
  2. Run through a maze of hay bales and zombies for 100 meters or run an extra half mile through sparsely Zombied territory.
Punishments
  1. If you lose "life" flags on a lap you have the opportunity to get more by completing a horrible task.
  2. There are multiple punishments on the course.
Distances
  1. Tracks vary in length between 1/4 and 2 miles.
  2. Humans can re-enter the course multiple times.
  3. Each course has specific rules on how many laps it takes to "survive" the apocalypse.
  4. You are welcome to only run the course once.

Our Marketing Sucks

We are launching Zombiecross with a $100 marketing budget.

We admit our graphics are poorly drawn and that's okay.

You won't actually die

Humocross and Zombiecross are both part of our new Survival Racing Series. The goal of a survival race is to make it to the end without being eliminated.

In Humocross you win by being the fastest in your heats. We know you're fastest because you cross the finish line first. No chips. This is a real race.

In Zombiecross you win by holding onto at least one "life flag" while enduring miles of Zombies, pain and suffering. Again, no chips.

Learn more about both by visiting http://www.humocross.com and http://www.youaredinner.com
