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

The Naked Foot 5K

The Naked Foot 5K celebrates fitness and community action by gathering runners to help people that do not have access to proper footwear. Children's 1K races, foot-painting stations, foot massages, and games fill the festival grounds, along with yoga clinics and booths promoting waste-reducing shoe designs. Runners are encouraged to donate a pair of new or gently used shoes, which will be distributed to individuals in disaster situations or impoverished areas by Soles4Souls. In addition to helping global community members, participants may take on the optional challenge of running barefoot to stay mindful of the importance of footwear.

Drenched

Drenched 5K events soak participants in the name of good health, good fun, and raising money for local charities. Runners of all makes and models can skip monthly jogs through the neighborhood car wash to converge on 5-kilometer courses, which start out dry, but quickly become lively fetes fueled by H2O. Along the routes misters, sprinklers, and fire hoses activate as groups pass by. Spectators also do their worst, launching water balloons and spraying water weapons at runners from the sidelines. A final 75-foot water slide sends runners gliding across the finish line, where a festival stocked with refreshments, live entertainment, and other water-related activities greets them.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Promised Technology

Since the technological leaps of the Space Age, scientists have promised us numerous exciting, life-altering inventions that have yet to materialize. Here's why we're still waiting on these must-have contraptions:

Jetpacks: Aeronautical engineers are still unable to design a personal flight thruster that doesn't also burn the pilot's legs clean off.

Hoverboards: Anyone can glue a bunch of magnets to a wooden plank and ride the Earth's magnetic field, but no one has yet to sell the public on its appeal by featuring it in a movie.

Personal-Size Microwave: That’s what they were really trying to make at Chernobyl.

Love-Matching Computer: Scientists unveiled what seemed to be a breakthrough last year, but the machine kept matching every woman with, "this one really smart, lonely scientist who's… RIGHT BEHIND YOU!"

Why aren’t lazy scientists solving the nation’s hoverboard crisis?
