I'm not sure of any other 1/2 mile rides that have their own race. http://www.kingofjester.com/ Although it doesn't look like it will happen in 2008.
Distance: Approximately .5 miles.
Climbing: Approximately 350 vertical feet
Grade: Ranging from 10% to 23% (averaging 17%)
From Jester Village to the 1st cross street: Winterbury Dr.
Description: Starting almost flat, the climb gets steeper at the top with a false flat sprint to finish it off.

There's several places to eat in the shopping center where the start of the ride is at (Subway and some cafes and bistros).
Any of the aforementioned eating establishments.
