Shenandoah Zombie Run 3 - NOT DEAD YET!

Swoope, VA
Rally your friends and prepare for an adrenaline-pumping 5K adventure at Camp Shenandoah — where survival is the ultimate goal! This thrilling course winds through the hills and wooded trails of Camp Shenandoah along Little North Mountain in Swoope, VA. You’ll sprint, jog, and strategize your way through camp—but don’t get too comfortable. Somewhere behind you the zombies are gathering. The humans get a head start… but not for long. The siren sounds and the zombie runners are released – the chase begins. Each human participant will wear three flags, representing your “lives.” As zombies close in, their mission is simple: grab your flags and infect as many runners as possible before the finish line. Protect at least one flag and you survive. Lose them all… and you’ve joined the undead. This isn’t just a race against the clock — it’s a race for survival. Every participant will receive a medal at the finish line. Will yours proudly declare you a “Survivor,” or mark you as “Infected?” Zomb

Lynchburg UltraFest

Lynchburg, VA
There’s a certain kind of clarity that only shows up after a few hours on your feet. Lynchburg UltraFest is the first event of its kind in Lynchburg—a true 24-hour ultra experience inside a city park, built around simplicity: one loop, one space, and the opportunity to keep showing up. Run it solo. Run it as a team. Either way, the challenge is the same. The course is a .84-mile paved loop inside Riverside Park. You’ll start and finish in the same place every lap—near the gazebo and caboose. No guesswork. No point-to-point logistics. Just rhythm. This race is for anyone willing to stay in it a little longer than they’re used to.

After Day One, you will be asked to sketch out training plans based on the Case Studies introduced. This informal, ungraded "homework" assignment asks you to apply materials from Day One to prepare for Day Two's group work. Day Two includes the business of coaching, sports psychology, nutrition for coaching, recognizing injuries and prevention, environmental factors that affect running performance, and building training programs as a group activity. Online Course Overview: The course will be team taught by RRCA coaching education instructors. Registration is limited to 35 participants to encourage a positive, interactive learning experience. Full attendance and participation is required during the course in order to complete the certification process. While every cohort receives the same curriculum, every cohort has a different dynamic, so the schedule may be modified to suit the specific needs of the weekend program. FedEx will ship the hard-copy course book directly to the U.S. mailing address listed in a participant's registration at no additional charge the week before the course. *The address you enter during registration must be able to accept FedEx shipments.* International participants will be contacted individually by email to discuss delivery options. Course participants will receive multiple pre-course emails from our Director of Coaching Education, Randy Accetta, with important information and reminders. Please read these emails!

Course participants will need a computer, tablet, or phone with video and audio capabilities on a reliable internet connection. Participants should set up in a quiet space to avoid distractions and disruptions from others. Instructors will use both the audio and video functions, and will use the screen share feature to display the course slides. There will be opportunities for both written and spoken discussion and Q&A during the course. There will be small-group work on program development in breakout Zoom rooms. Instructors will take attendance at various points during both course days. The Zoom course may be recorded for the RRCA's use. A participant's course registration and attendance indicate understanding and agreement that all photos and videos will become the property of the RRCA. As part of the certification process, prospective coaches must provide proof of current CPR and First Aid certifications within 60 days after the course. The RRCA is accepting CPR and First Aid certifications that are completed online, in person, or in a hybrid format.
