About Us

As most of us know, a marathon is 26.2 miles. When someone commits to such an event there is usually a point at which an underlying curiosity is converted to a conscious decision. A spark from the brain; carried down through the heart, and in some cases the pit of your stomach…

a reason is born.

“Something tells me I can do this. I need to challenge myself again. I feel the need to compete. This is the goal I have been looking for. I am not too old for this, am I? If my boss can do it, I know I can” …

a reason is born.

People run for a variety of reasons, but not all races support a variety of runners.

This is precisely why the Omaha Marathon is different.

We don’t claim to be the biggest, fastest, or even the best. What we are is a race that offers a variety of reasons, for runners at all levels of experience.

• Want a challenge? Omaha is not quite as flat as most think, the bluffs are waiting, the winds are calling, test your endurance.
• First timer? No better place to meet real runners, and truly learn what the sport is all about.
• Tuning up for another race? Hit the ground running here!
• Weekend Getaway? Activities for all at a reasonable price await. Good people, great food, and real fun … a reason is born.
