Yes, it is only 0.5K or 1,640 feet or 565 steps! But guess what? You don't even need to do that and you will still be supporting a good cause - the Galveston County Food Bank Children's Nutrition Outreach Program during the summer when school is out of session.
Yep, I want to register NOW!

Net proceeds to go the Kidz Pacz program. Why?
In an attempt to close the gap of summer time hunger, the Galveston County Food Bank has established the Kidz Pacz program. During the summer months, many children who depend on free or reduced meals at school often struggle to have enough food at home. Through our Kidz Pacz program we offer ready to eat, kid-friendly meal packs to eligible children for 10 weeks during the summer months.
Get on your walking shoes..or not
Z Krewe's 0.5K was created for folks who are NOT ready to go the extra mile. In fact, they aren't even willing to go a mile at all, and barely even a quarter mile ... But our 0.5k'ers are willing to be silly and have a little bit of fun while raising money to help the Galveston County Food Bank's Kidz Pacz Program feed hungry Kidz.
Z Krewe's 0.5K "Race" will incorporate all the typical race elements into a treacherous 1,640 ft "race course". No training or effort is required. This is a ummmm.. "Race" for all the Slackers, Un-Runners, Underachievers and Couch Potatoes! It's OK to take your time and not "race" to the finish line. Everyone will get a medal to show off Monday at the office!
Some Race tips:
- Get to the starting line early so you can stretch (0.3 miles is nothing to take too lightly)
- At the halfway point (that's a whopping .1555555 miles in), enjoy an ice cold adult beverage (or Kiddo Beverage for those under the age of 21) to stay hydrated and down some carbs for energy
- Celebrate crossing the finish line and receive your "Finisher's Medal" with a FINISHER'S BEER (ROOT BEER - for the Kiddos)!
