The .05K, presented by 98ROCK, is a small Baltimore race with a distance that's a joke: it measures just 162 feet, or “point zero five K.” This yearly evening event takes place at Union Craft Brewing and functions as a launch party for the Baltimore Running Festival. Registration costs $15 and includes a bib and a commemorative 98ROCK/.05K T-shirt. The course is essentially a short dash or walk, after which participants return to Union Craft Brewing. Justin, Scott, and Spiegel from 98ROCK lead the event, which includes check-in, pre-race beer, and a warm-up before the one-minute race. The event is open to ages 21 to 99, costumes add to the enjoyment, and those not running can still attend for the brewery gathering. All proceeds from entry fees benefit the Baltimore City Firefighters Local 734 Widows & Orphans Fund.

The Hyattsville Elementary School PTA organizes the run, with proceeds benefiting local elementary schools. Funds are allocated for essential school needs, including art supplies, musical instruments, classroom materials, children's coats, teacher appreciation, and school beautification initiatives. The event welcomes neighbors from Hyattsville and friends from across the DMV, and a virtual option may also be available.
