Grab a buddy (or a few) for the Winter Pineapple Classic Nov. 8 in North Bend, Washington.
The goal of this 5k obstacle run is to raise $400,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – and this annual event has all the makings of a great day: pineapples, mud and a barn-turned-luau that features yummy grub, beer and Hawaiian entertainers. There will also be a bouncy house for the little ones.
Prizes will be awarded for best times and best costumes.
