If you look at the course map they do have a Half 0.5K Course marked. Going shorter than that would be, of course, ludicrous. |

Champion 6831 Bellingham, Washington | Subject: RE: 0.5K I just hope the parking is close to the start. Will their be a shuttle bus from the finish area back to the start line? I do think the event is a good idea though. It all starts with the first step and that can be a hard one for some. Edited by BellinghamSpence 2012-05-12 10:00 AM |

Expert 1566 Prattville Insane Asylum San Antonio | Subject: RE: 0.5K OMG hilarious! I love this "In an effort to limit the depletion of energy in walkers' muscles during the "fatiguing" 1,969-inch hike, Deen suggested all participants load up on carbohydrates by eating a pan of her famous homemade batter-dipped French fries the night before the walk." Classic! |
