What to expect
From the organizer
Are you ready for some "FAST TIMES" at Z Krewe's 0.5K?
Z Krewe's 0.5K is going BACK <----- to the 80's!
Join your fellow underachievers for a day (ummm... actually more like 10 minutes) of GLORY, CELEBRATION, and PARTICIPATION MEDALS while raising money for Galveston County Food Bank's Kidz Pacz Program!
Z Krewe's 5th Annual 0.5K will be held on May 2nd, 2026 at Galveston Bay Brewing in Clear Lake Shores, TX. Packet Pick-up and the Registration Station opens at 10:30 am... The BIG "RACE" will begin at 12:05 pm ish....
The Details:
Z Krewe's 0.5K "Race" - That's not a typo. We mean it... POINT FIVE K -
Z Krewe's 0.5K was created for folks who are NOT ready to go the extra mile. In fact, they aren't willing to go a mile at all. This is a "Race" for the rest of us! It's a race event for those who would rather binge Netflix all day, drink a beer or 5, and fill up on carbs! Z Krewe's 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 to feed hungry Kidz during the summer.
The "Race" will incorporate all the typical race elements into a treacherous 1,640-ish ft "racecourse". But we've added in some amusing obstacles for fun and entertainment. No TRAINING or EFFORT is required. This is a umm.. "Race" for all the NON-RUNNERS, 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 on 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 remember to 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)!

Sponsorship Opportunities
All the fun stuff aside, we are serious about the end result — to support the Galveston County Food Banks Kidz Pacz Program. The money raised at this event will help provide Kidz in Galveston County weekly snacks and meals during the summer months when School Lunches are not available for them. And we'd really like your help! As a sponsor, your business will be associated with what we believe will be the funniest, coolest, and craziest event of the year. Levels start at $500 and include logo on marketing materials and swag, race entries, volunteer opportunities, and more!
Can't do a Sponsorship but you still want to be involved with Participants? Adventure Stations can be purchased for $250. You can create your own obstacle or challenge for Participants to face on the "race" course. We encourage any humorous activity. The goal is to be fun, silly, & foolish!
