http://news4sanantonio.com/new...oerne-5k-for-charityThis 0.5K run for underachievers has donuts, coffee and a smoking rest stopBOERNE — A Facebook event in Boerne is getting the attention of many "underachievers."
The inaugural Boerne .5K will be held on May 5 and will benefit the Blessings in a Backpack organization. According to the Facebook event, the race will be a "very fun, tongue-in-cheek event that will lampoon the typical 5k."
Dodging Duck will be providing a free pint of beer to runners who arrive early at the start of the race at River Road Park. The race will then head to the Cibolo Creek Brewery where participants will receive another free pint of beer.
All race finishers will "receive a pretentious oval Euro-style 0.5k sticker that you can attach to your rear windshield to show everyone what a bada-- you are," according to the event. 
There will also be a medical tent, that may or may not be fully staffed, in case there are issues along the way.
The event is sold out, but organizers say the event is expected to come back next year.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

PHPaulSounds like just the sort of athletic event I could get into.
Minus the beer, unfortunately, but maybe they've got coffee...

pbslingerLocal organization does a .01 mile run as a fundraiser. They run across the street. I think it the dumbest fundraiser ever.

mr kablammoIf the money is for a good cause, then good for them. I went to the Buda, TX Lion's Club Weinerdog Races yesterday. Partly for fun, partly to buy lunch from 4H/BS/etc.
