Downtown Visalia Kiwanis 0.5K Donut Run/Walk and Shoe Fling at Mooney Grove Park – Visalia, CA 2027

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 fo
