Swoop Scoop

While normal people walk onto a sandy beach and immediately sink into the ground or flop around like they’re wearing flippers, others own it like it’s their personal runway. Take our good friends David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson. Their sand escapades from Baywatch are practically legendary. Make Pam and The Hoff proud by strutin’ your stuff along the beach (just don’t run in slow motion, otherwise you’ll lose) with today’s Swoop: $27 for admission to Beach Dash Chicago on Saturday, July 14 from Red Frog Events (a $60 value).

The event planners at Red Frog Events really know how to put on an adrenaline-pumping race and throw an even more adrenaline-pumping party afterward—besides Beach Dash, they’ve coordinated the likes of Warrior Dash and the Great Urban Race. But Beach Dash Chicago brings the true grit and grind with an obstacle course that will have you diving, ducking, jumping and leaping while trying to overcome the sandy beach and crashing waves. Obstacles include a giant beach ball pen and flaming coals to name a few, but that’s all we’ll say so you don’t go creating a mock course in your alleyway for practice. You’ll race with people in your specific age division and once you reach the finish line, you'll will be showered with gifts, including a pineapple hat (need we say more) and a beach bash with live music and a complimentary Leinenkugel Summer Shandy. So swoop in on today’s deal and put the Baywatch crew to shame with your own running-in-the-sand moves.
