Child Watch Lazy Days of Summer 0.5K

😴 THE PJ RELAY

CALLING ALL SLEEPWALKING SUPERSTARS!

It’s time once again for the biggest little race in town: The Lazy Days of Summer 0.5K—and this year, we’re putting the Zzz in “zoom” with our new theme:

THE PJ RELAY.

That’s right. Grab your slippers, fluff your pillow, and stretch those sleep-deprived calves because we’re racing (term used very loosely) in our jammies for a cause that matters. Whether you're rocking footies, flannel, or full-on satin glam, this one’s for you.

This isn’t about speed or stamina. It’s about showing up half-awake and all heart—for the kids.

📍 PLACE

• Venue: Paducah Beer Werks
• Address: 301 N. 4th St., Paducah, KY US 42001

📜 THE RULES…

• Register: Register now.

🤝 TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!

Did you see the part about raising money? Get a team together and crowd fund for Child Watch. The team donating the most money is the big winner! Team Captains can create a team on this site and send invites to other team members. Set your own fundraising goal and start harassing friends and family for donations in no time!

👶 HEY KIDS!

Get your own kid-powered team together and show your parents who wears the pajama pants in the family. If your grown-up isn’t buying it just keep asking. Eventually, you will wear them down.

🎁 WILL THERE BE SWAG? OBVIOUSLY.

• Adults: For your $40 registration fee, adult "runners" get a newly designed extra-comfy pillow-y soft T-shirt, a swanky 0.5K pint glass, and a pretentious Euro-style oval decal for your car.
• Kids: For your $20 registration fee, kids 17 and under get a t-shirt, a 12 oz. color-changing stadium cup, and decal.

🏆 PRIZES

We know your heart is in the right place, but don’t forget there is a little something in it for you too! We will have prizes for best costume, best bed head, most money raised by a team or individual, and more.

❓ PJ RELAY FAQs....

• Will I be drug tested before the race? Negative. We don't expect this crowd to be into performance enhancing products.
• 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? Treat yourself after crossing the finish line.
• 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 I only own slippers? You've found your people.

📅 RACE DAY

We will be at Paducah Beer Werks at 10 am for sign-in and swag pick-up. Come early and carb up while listening to live (pre-recorded) motivational tunes to wake you up and get the juices flowing. 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 sound the alarm clock! Then four leisurely laps around the parking lot (relax - no one is counting) and bam! You cross the finish line and unleash your inner-champion. Run, crawl, sleepwalk, breakdance... anything goes!

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