Runners, walkers, snackers, and professional loungers—this one’s for you. The Underachiever .5K is back in Historic Downtown Rogers, and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like: a 0.5K (that’s 1,640 feet, folks). No training required. Swagger optional. Fun? Mandatory.

The Deets:
📍 Where: Starts in Downtown Rogers, ends at Ozark Beer Company (109 N. Arkansas St.)
📅 When:
• Friday, April 11 – Packet Pickup + Carb Loading with Wicked Woodfired Pizza
• Saturday, April 12 – “Race” starts at 11:00 AM
💲 Registration: $30
💲 Registration Includes:
- Race-branded fanny pack (for snacks, obviously)
- A .5K sticker to slap on your car like you did something
- Finish line snacks, good vibes, and full bragging rights
What to Expect:
- A super manageable route through downtown
- A “water” stop (read: beer or seltzer) halfway through
- El Chefe’s tacos waiting at the finish line—because recovery is real
- A taproom patio party that goes way harder than the race
- Costume contest with prizes for best individual + best-dressed team
Why You’ll Love It:
- It’s a race where literally everyone wins
- Kids, adults, and dogs in costumes = elite entertainment
