Runners try to avoid being caught by Claremont resident Tsun Tao, playing a slumber party zombie, on Saturday during the first ever Zombie Run at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. Runners were challenged to complete the maze like course while avoiding getting a flag belt tied around their waist taken by one of the many costumed zombies. The event proved to be very popular attracting hundreds of participants, who could relax after the run at the many vendor booths set up at the entrance. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
