About: The 6th annual “A Race for the Rest of Us” — a 0.5k fun run (yes, 0.5k!) is a lighthearted event that raises funds for the Senior Meals Program at Senior & Disability Services.
The “race” covers a whopping 0.5 kilometers—that’s about one-third of a mile, or roughly 546 yards. For perspective: it's about twice the distance a good golfer might drive a ball off the tee. No training required—just enthusiasm and a sense of humor!
Every registered participant receives:
- A commemorative T-shirt
- A coveted finisher’s medal
- A race sticker to show off and your support for seniors
