Ahrens said the event was inspired by the desire to hold a fundraiser run that was easy for anyone accomplish. A 0.5K is exactly 1,000 steps, and participants were able to walk to course and stop for donuts provided by Hy-Vee, kolaches, or protein provided by Raising Cane’s along the way.

Participants Amy and Stephanie were excited they were raising money for a good cause.
