Are you ready to get dirty? Then get ready for the Dirty Girl Mud Run coming to the Mid-South on Saturday, March 16.

The Dirty Girl Mud Run is a 5K mud run for women of all ages and athletic abilities. The run is filled with an untimed obstacle course. A portion of proceeds raised for the run will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

The contest is the original women-only national mud run and will be held at Shelby Farms. 

Event organizers’ say the challenges will give women a chance to break from their routine for a day, get out of their comfort zones, get dirty, and accomplish something all while having fun.

You don’t have to participate in all the obstacles. Organizers encourage forming teams with crazy uniforms.

The Dirty Girl Mud Run will also include music, food and drinks.

Looking to travel for less this holiday season?  Then look no further than megabus.com.

The first city-to-city express bus company has now opened its ticket booking window to accomodate holiday travelers.  Fares will start as low as $1 and booking will remain open until Jan. 8.

“The holidays are an expensive time of year and travelers are looking for the best deal,” said VP of marketing and public relations for megabus.com Mike Alvich.

 “Megabus.com’s affordable fares make sure our customers have enough money left in their pocket to spend on gifts for their loved ones,” he said. 

More than 410,000 passengers used the holiday service in 2011 and the company expects an increase this year. 

The express service double-decker buses come equipped with free Wi-Fi and power outlets, and offer service to nearly 90 cities throughout America.

Who will accept the challenge? Two hundred HOT ROD fans with the same goal in mind – to drive the fastest street-legal car on the track, that’s who. In just a two-week registration period, the 2012 HOT ROD Drag Week™ field reached its capacity of 200 entrants; with another 78 drivers having thrown their hats into the ring in case someone backs out.

The stage is set for the most epic five days in the seven-year history of HOT ROD Drag Week™. For the first time ever, this event will be captured on TV’s SPEED channel. Beginning Sept. 9, competitors will be put to a grueling five-day test of drag racing, covering more than 1,200 miles in the same car, with the same engine, in the search for HOT ROD’s Fastest Street Car in America. Participants will register times at four quarter-mile drag strips – including some looking to top 200 mph in the quarter-mile in less than 6 seconds.
