What You'll Get
Early humans developed the ability to sprint in order to chase down sprightly prey and invented long-distance running to escape from slowly approaching glaciers. Follow in their fossilized footsteps with this Groupon.

About Del Mar Mud Run
For the fifth year in a row, the San Diego County Fair 5K is setting up shop at the historic Del Mar Fairgrounds. A sell-out event in each of its first four runs, the event has gained notoriety for its national TV spots and attendance by reality-TV stars. This year's race will keep everyone on their muddy toes, though, as a brand-new course will introduce different obstacles and a possible redefinition of true north. Participants can sign up as individuals or a team; either way, they can hit up a post-race foam fest with hot showers and a dance party.
