Running was popular in Europe long before it caught on in America, which is why most races are measured in kilometers and why most of the Pilgrims were eaten by bears. Race to the top of the food chain with this Groupon.

$35 for Registration in a Women-Only 5K Mud Run ($79.50 Value)

The untimed race’s course—dotted with architectural obstacles—ends in a finish-line party complete with entertainment, cold beer, and drinks. Runners start their treks on Saturday, September 15, taking off for the finish line in waves of their choosing. Each wave, consisting of around 200 people, heads out 15 minutes after the previous one from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

Participants wishing to use public transportation can also take advantage of a free shuttle to and from the event at the Hickory Creek Metra station, accessible on the Rock Island District Metra line. The shuttle will run in accordance with Metra's schedule, which departs trains every two hours.

Pretty Muddy

Mud-splattered runners slog down a muddy 5K course, sporadically clambering over architectural obstacles, as they charge toward the distant chords of music at the Pretty Muddy race’s finish-line party. The race founders designed the event as a respite from everyday responsibilities, where women can enjoy the primal thrill of a physical challenge in a supportive, single-sex environment.

Focused on runner comfort, the race is untimed and does not require participants to crawl through mud or over obstacles if they aren't comfortable doing so. At least two aid stations are present on all Pretty Muddy courses to prevent thirsty runners from quenching their thirst with an earthen beverage. Mud-caked finishers can compete for costume prizes or free themselves of icky attire at onsite rinsing and changing stations.

The Groupon Guide to: Heavy-Metal Lyrics

One the hardest things about writing heavy-metal music, be it of the speed, black, or death variety, is coming up with appropriately ruthless ideas for songs. Here, then, is a list of ideas which should serve as adequate heavy-metal song premises. Please send any completed versions of these songs to cat@groupon.com.

  • A black tower rises forth from beneath a city. The people are scared of the tower. The sun turns to dust and the moon turns to raw hamburger meat.

  • A little boy has been waiting all day for cookies. He knows they will be delicious. When he comes home, his house is gone but the cookie jar is sitting alone in the yard. The cookie jar is full of eyeballs.

  • The Frost Giants of Fjallmuir revolt from the tyrannical rule of Orlor. They use dead trees as cudgels.

  • A cool car that is also fast

  • Pretty much any gloaming, reaving, sundering, or purging

  • A boy is lost in the big city. Two ruthless thieves will stop at nothing to kill him. He tortures them using various improvised brutal weapons. He befriends a beggar who can talk to birds.

  • A sad king laments the pile of screaming rats that the wizard turned his wife into.

  • A guitar comes to life and zaps lightning at the houses of everyone who was ever mean to you, the listener. The guitar also shoots fire and becomes invisible if bad guys are around. The guitar is your best friend and you get to ride an eagle with your friend Kenneth.

“The Purging of the Winterfalcons” would be a good heavy metal song or band name.
