Month: June 2016
Join the Fall 2016 Virtual Race!
Breach the blast doors, infiltrate the vault, don’t get bitten. Easy, right?
This fall, help Sam Yao and Abel Township make the steal of the century, in a 5k/10k race set during the early days of Season 1! Join up to get a race tee, medal, training missions, and access to our private ROFFLENET forum.
You choose the distance. You choose the route. We make it awesome.
Race dates: 20 Oct to 1 Nov
What’s a Virtual Race? A Virtual Race takes place in a location and time of your choice. You can walk, jog or run wherever you may be, and at any time during the race week, for a 5k or a 10k distance. It’s an awesome way for all Runner 5s around the world to run as a community, and get exclusive real-world awards!
When you’re on a heist, you’ve got to look the part – and when there are zombies on your tail, you’ve got to move fast!
Our Soft Tech Shortsleeve tee has excellent wicking & drying, but it feels and looks like premium cotton thanks to its highly refined ring-spun polyester yarn.
And our Pro-Spec Quarter Zip Longsleeve top is perfect for colder runs, with great features like sleeve thumb-holes and a fabric zip guard.
Your entry comes with a race packet sent directly from Abel Township, with a briefing, certificate, race bib, medal, and more! And in the weeks leading to the race, you’ll get two exclusive training missions, story emails, and support from our community. (Photo: Spring 2016 Race Pack)

Praise for the Spring 2016 Virtual Race
“As much as your game motivates me, this race has trumped it. I am hooked on virtual races now.”
“Way to go on the tech shirt! Fit wonderfully, very comfortable…”
“Thank you for creating a compelling story that made me get off my ass and do my first 10K!”
“I was so impressed. The shirt is amazing and the medal hangs on my wall.”

Abel (typelikemad) / The Ministry (crownleys)
@crownleys had the excellent idea of a collab where we both used our different styles to create propaganda type posters for Abel and Ministry. It was a fun challenge and something I would never have thought of doing otherwise. Thanks, C!

Don’t flop just yet, Runner 5 – we’ve got a pair of ace missions for you this week. Get ready to go all-in for Poker Face and You’re Still The One! If there’s not a joker in the pack… and sometimes there is.

5k and Marathon Training Plans
We’ve just released two brand new Training Plans! You can enrol in the 5k Expert and Marathon Beginner plans on the Training Plans screen, and as always, they’re free for all players.

On iPhone, our 5.0.1 update features:
- Fixes for crashes on iPhone 4s and iPhone 6 Plus (particularly for those with very large bases)
- Startup speed and app performance improvements for everyone
- Improved graphs on statistics page
We also intend to release a 5.0.2 update for iPhone that will eliminate a rare crash that occurs when navigating the app.
On Android, our 5.0.3 update features:
- Significant improvements to performance
- Bug fixes for never-ending chases, Training Plan logic, base building rendering, and much more.
On ZombieLink, we’ve added Runkeeper syncing! You’d better believe it – after a long absence, it should now work for both auto and manual sharing.
