It’s here! The Helotes 0.5K Challenge, a race for the rest of us! That’s not a typo, our “race” is, in fact, only 546 yards or 19,685 inches, no training or effort needed. Because this is created for those who will NOT go the extra mile, in fact they are not willing to go a mile at all, this fun event is for everyone. We are expecting up to 500 “runners” and 50 volunteers.
All the fun stuff aside, we are serious about the end result – raising money for the Helotes Area Chamber Foundation. Our foundation gives back to the community with high school and trade school scholarships, the Miss Helotes Pageant scholarships, the Walter Gerlach Livestock Show and Auction sponsorships, and we recently developed a member nonprofit grant program, Serve Day and a teacher grant program. Supporting this event really impacts our community!
