Child Watch Lazy Days of Summer 0.5K - The Superhero Stroll

CALLING ALL SUPERHEROES, SIDEKICKS AND COUCH CRUSADERS!

The Lazy Days of Summer 0.5K is back! Join us at Paducah Beer Werks on Saturday, August 22 for the Superhero Stroll, an epic 546-yard adventure that will test your ability to walk dramatically, pose heroically, and conserve energy like a true champion. 

Wear your favorite superhero costume, grab your sidekick, and prepare for an action-packed journey of approximately ten minutes... or fifteen if you stop for selfies. Save the day, strike your best superhero poses, and celebrate crossing the finish line without even breaking a sweat.

SUPER EXCITING NEW ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

Create your own unique mask at the mask design station!

Buy delicious dirty sodas at the Honey and Fizz pop-up shop!

Enjoy inflatables in the Paducah Beer Werks parking lot!

NOT ALL HEROES WEAR RUN MARATHONS

Is your hero your favorite caped crusader or the person who invented the snooze button on alarm clocks? A crime-fighting marvel or your favorite barista?  Whether you're Superman, Super Slow or Wonder Why-I-Signed-Up, you'll fit right in. Capes are encouraged, masks are optional, and spandex is worn at your own risk. Suit up, unleash your inner superhero, and get ready for the most relaxed adventure in the multiverse!  

Remember, it’s not about speed or stamina. It’s about fighting child abuse in our community.

 
LET'S SETTLE THIS

Is it really a race? Nope. Not even close. Just four short laps (if you're even counting - we aren't) around the parking lot at Paducah Beer Werks and it's over. Doesn't matter if you cross the finish line first, last, or ever. You will still be a hero in our eyes! 

Adult heroes can drink free beer along the way at the hydration station, courtesy of Paducah Beer Werks. Honey and Fizz will have a pop-up shop to purchase sugary drinks for the kid crusaders! 

 No superpowers required!

SUPERHERO STRIDE FAQs....

• What if my perfect Saturday involves my bed, junk food and Netflix?  Don't worry. You can be home by noon with plenty of daylight left to waste.
• Every time I hear the word exercise I think about extra fries. Can I do this?  That's what we call motivation. Seriously, have you tried Beer Werks’ fries? Talk about kryptonite...
• What if I tend to stumble over absolutely nothing?  It's fine. That's what the liability waiver is for.
• What if I typically get winded walking from my car to the counter at Cold Stone?  That’s probably just adrenaline. Be sure to stop at the hydration station for a beverage from Paducah Beer Werks and you’ll be just fine.
• What if my idea of a hero is my favorite sub sandwich? You've found your people. 

RACE DAY

We will be at Paducah Beer Werks at 10 am for sign-in and swag pick-up. Honey and Fizz will be selling fun drinks, create a mask at the mask design station, and warm up in the bounce house. At 11:00-ish we'll have a short warm-up (wouldn't want to over exert ourselves) and then it's go time! We'll send out the bat signal to start your four leisurely laps around the parking lot (relax - no one is counting).  Then BAM! POW! SHAZAM! You cross the finish line and unleash your inner hero. Run, crawl, sleepwalk, breakdance... whatever your superpower happens to be! 

Prizes will be awarded after the last person crosses the finish line. Be sure to stick around for lunch at PBW and bask in the glory of your big  accomplishment. Nothing says victory like pepperoni chips and pizza.  Now that's the sweet smell of success!
