Runners pick up their race-day packets at 9:15 a.m., and the first wave starts at 11:30 a.m. After that, waves start every 30 minutes.

Depending on availability, each participant gets dog tags, a silicone bracelet, a bumper sticker, a running bib, and sponsor swag. Participants also receive entry to the 5K after party.

Zombie Buffet 5K

Before Zombie Buffet 5K, the zombie apocalypse was simply a tall tale played out in movies and among survival enthusiasts. Now, the deliciously horrific fantasy has been realized in the form of a fun and challenging 5K. First, runners must choose a side—either traverse the course as a runner, or move about the infected habitat as a sprinting or roaming zombie.

Each runner gets two health flags, which zombies try their undead best to steal. When runners lose both flags, they become zombies and must then hunt down their fellows in search of other flags. The zombie with the most flags in each starting wave wins and goes home with the happy knowledge that they are the fittest of the unfit. The top three runners in each wave who finish with at least one health flag still intact will win the running division.

Regardless of their alignment, all participants get swag such as a Zombie Buffet 5K T-shirt, a silicone bracelet, and dog tags, but the running winners and zombie winners are bestowed additional secret grand prizes.

The Groupon Guide to: a Unique Wedding

Your wedding should be a reflection of every aspect of your personality and a definitive way to prove to your cousins that you are interesting. Here are some suggestions for making your wedding an original, spectacular, lovetastic journey:

  • Mason jars instead of champagne flutes

  • You're not the kind of person who would want a cake like everyone else's, so make the cake out of grilled steaks and have the frosting be mashed potatoes.

  • You won't want gifts, so just have a station where people can write short works of magical realist fiction about you and your fiancé.

  • Instead of a ring bearer, use a trained miniature horse. He hands out pamphlets about a charity working to save a rare breed of sparrows that are going extinct on Georgia farms.

  • Tables are boring, but piles of freshly cut firewood aren't.

  • Replace the guests with glass orbs full of water and rose petals. Replace your fiancé with a scarecrow made of your mom's vintage scarves.

Where is the best local farm to find a ring bearer?
