The Boerne 0.5 K run — a charity race for “underachievers” — was staged at Boerne, Texas, on May 5, 2018. The course was only 0.3 mile long, and for an entry fee of $25, participants received free beer at the start and finish. Those not wishing to expend any energy at all could pay an extra $25 to have an old bus transport them the length of the course. (From Ripley’s Believe It or Not: Beyond the Bizarre)
