Journey to the End of the Night is a free street game of epic proportion, presented in Chicago by CGØ for the third year running. Players will try to make it through a series of checkpoints, while avoiding being caught by chasers. Those who fall will become chasers themselves, rising to pursue their former friends and allies. No skates, no bikes, no cars, no buses, just your feet and the good old Elevated Train.

# Who:You and your friends!

# What: A free citywide street game of scavenging, surviving, hunting, and being hunted. Comedy of the Puterbaugh Sisters, Music from Tinyfolk, drinks and awards await you @ the finish line.

# When: May 1st, 2010 / Meet @ 7PM

# Where: Eckhart Park
[N Ada or Noble St @ Chicago Ave]

# Why: Because you're compelled to be a part of
something grand!

# How: Bring your running shoes, wear comfortable clothes, bring water and maybe even a camera! Play at your own risk.


Rules here.

Who lives in Chicago and wants to do a Zombie style race through the city? I know it's short notice, but it looks pretty rad. I'm pretty sure I'm going. Anyone want to meet up and work together?

    Only 114 murders thus far. Last year there were 107 by this time of year. There's talks about bringing in the National Guard, but who knows if it will happen.

    why

    R is the most aggressive letter in the alphabet. That's why they call it 'murder' and not 'mukduk'

    Eh, almost all the murders in Chicago happen south of 67th street and west of 294. Stay where the white people live and you're fine.

    west of 294 is rich affluent suburbs

    294 isn't even within city limits

    that's not really true either though

    the city varies almost block-by-block

    either way river west is certainly safe enough to meet up in

    Oh nooeessss! Being outside is scary! Chicago has a population of almost 3 million. I think you'll be pretty safe if you come out to the zombie race. Most of the murders here are gang related. If you're a crip or a blood you might want to consider staying home.

    That's most of the city. East of 90/94 is Downtown and Lake Michigan, that's it.

    If you're in Chicago, screw it, roam around I say!

    Of course, this is coming from someone that has gone bike riding between 10:00pm thru 4:00am at night just for fun.

    Unless you are planning on playing alone and taking the most indirect, unlit, back alley ways possible, your chances of getting jumped are probably slim.

    Something tells me the 100 guys wearing red arm bands that are chasing you would be something of a deterrent to would be criminals.
