In a Nutshell

5-mile or 5K race on January 5 with soup at the finish line; singles-oriented 2-mile race on February 9, with bag-pickup networking event

The Fine Print

  • Expiration varies
  • Valid only for option purchased. Registration required. 17 and younger requires guardian signature. Must sign waiver. Registration is non-transferable.
  • See the rules that apply to all deals.

Outside of a 5K, the best way to test people's endurance is to see how long they can listen to a radio play-by-play of a 5K. Take on a real challenge with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

  • $20 for one entry in The Soup Run 5-mile or 5K race (up to a $40 value)
  • $17 for one entry in the Cupid’s Single Mingle Sprint 2-mile race (a $35 value)
  • $32 for entry in each of the above races (up to a $75 value)

A pair of 500-person, cold-weather races kicks off on Saturday, January 5, at noon, when The Soup Run sends chip-timed walkers, joggers, and runners around a circuit starting from Hains Point and ending at a finish line stocked with two choices of soup. A week before competing in the Cupid’s Single Mingle Sprint, participants will convene on Saturday, February 2, to pick up their race bags and, if they like, network or flirt with their fellow runners. The main event begins at noon on Saturday, February 9, at Capital Crescent Trail.

DC Running Club

The DC Running Club serves a community of walkers and runners from DC, Maryland, and Virginia, hosting races open to all ages and abilities. Its events include the Center 5K, which benefits the local Kingsbury Center's students, and the One Meal One Mile race, whose proceeds go to educate children on healthy lifestyle habits such as running for pleasure, rather than running only to chase the owners of rare Beanie Babies. Over the next five years, the education-focused nonprofit plans to raise $5,000 in scholarship funds for area youth.

The Groupon Guide to: Famous Hats

Every historical figure of any significance wore a now instantly recognizable hat, synonymous with their name:

  • The Napoleon Hat: Military bicorn, worn side to side or "athwart" to serve as a better perch for enlisted falcons
  • The Benjamin Franklin Hat: Small brass beanie with a large conductive spire jutting out of it, topped with a small eyelet for tethering a kite
  • The Davy Crockett Hat: Famously a strict vegetarian, Crockett's "coonskin" was actually just a matted blob of reeds and buffalo chips that he moistened hourly from his canteen
  • The Hercules Hat: Just a minotaur skull

Honorable Mention: Jughead's "hat" from the Archie comics is actually a crown (?) made of gray paper (?) with miscellaneous shapes affixed to it. Details remain vague because it is proven that overscrutinizing Jughead's hat makes you go insane.

Which historical figure had the most famous hat? The answer may surprise you.
