Sioux Falls’ Laziest Race Promises Laughs And Community Spirit

If the last race you were in involved getting to the TV remote before your spouse, or the bathroom before your kids, or even back in grade school, this is the race for you!

This year, the Compass Center's 0.5K, "South Dakota's Laziest Race", returns on Saturday, June 21, from 10 AM to 1 PM at JJ's Wine, Spirits, and Cigars at 3000 W. 57th in Sioux Falls.

 Gather up your friends and family and have them meet you for this non-strenuous, but worthwhile non-race.

You'll be raising funds for The Compass Center in Sioux Falls, which "works with survivors of sexual and domestic violence, providing counseling and advocacy services at no cost for as long as service is needed".

It is sad to know that around 1000 people a year receive help from The Compass Center. But it's good to realize that it is all at no cost. This lazy race is a way for all of us to support the survivors in Sioux Falls.

Costumes are strongly encouraged and you'll receive a tasty libation (either a beer or perhaps a root beer) upon completion of this very lazy competition.

Dakota News Now is reporting that registration is now open, but spots are limited. Registrants all get a swag bag full of goodies and registration is only $30.

The event is broken into 3 sections again this year. There will be a launchpad to warm up and stretch, then the 'race' through the 1/3 mile course and a recovery lounge to rejuvenate and cool down after making it across the finish line.

Let's say that even getting off the couch is a bit more exercise than you want to do, but you still want to help; that couldn't be easier, just donate online.
