THANK YOU FOR RUNNING WITH US

 

The Nebraska Marathon

is now The Nebraska Half

April 19, 2025.  7:30 am Start

The race location has been moved to Zorinsky Lake in West Omaha.  Due to recent unforeseen road construction in the downtown  Omaha area it was decided the best and safest option was to relocate the race.     The new start finish line is Zorinsky Lake Boat Ramp.  Runners can use the 156th & F Street entrance.

Loved it! Fun race with a great course. Well organized and they have the best swag and finisher medal. Small but mighty – it was easy to make friends along the course and enjoy a drink together after the finish. Very spectator friendly.
