No matter how you measure a 0.5K (no typo here), it tallies up to one lap plus 180 feet on a standard running track, 5 1/2 football fields, half a kilometer, 546.8 yards, 1,640 feet, or 19,685 inches.
Because a marathon, a 10K or even a 5K may be too great a distance for some, members of the Downtown Visalia Kiwanis will offer a "Point 5K - The Race for The Rest of Us."
The race will begin at 10am on March 20, 2027, Saturday, at Mooney Grove Park (next to Tulare County Museum) in Visalia. Registration will begin at 9am.
An aid station (sponsored by Denny's restaurant) at the halfway mark is there to fill needs for a donut hole break, coffee, or juice.
When you make it to the finish line, you will get a donut and a 1st place medal. That's right, everyone gets a 1st place medal!
While the event is tongue in cheek, the Kiwanians' aim is sincere. Proceeds from the race will benefit Kiwanis projects that serve the children of our community.
Kids (10 years old and younger) can participate for FREE (No T-Shirt). If you want a T-Shirt, sign up for Youth. Strollers are welcome.
Come as a Donut!
We will award a small trophy to the Best Dressed Donut costume.
Are you a Shoe-Kicking Master? Prove it at our Brown's Shoe Fit Shoe Fling Competition right after the Donut Run/Walk. Swing and kick your shoe as far as you can! The competition will be divided into Adults (18 and over), Youth (Under 18), and Kids (10 and under). Fly, shoe, fly!
We also have a special treat this year. The 198 Express Barbershop Quartet will sing for us during registration (9am - 10am).
