The Omaha Marathon is this weekend. (NE13010KU)
The Heartland Marathon is September 24 (NE16006GM)
The Nebraska Marathon is October 15. (NE16011GM)
The Wabash Trace Marathon was last week. Granted in Iowa but still illustrating the explosion in 26.2 mile races East of the Platte.
Why are there so many 26.2 races popping up in the last 3 years? Because no single marathon has captured the imagination and support of the entire Omaha community. Bounce back to yesterday and my keen interest in annexation. If it does happen, and Waterloo becomes part of Omaha proper, well then. In 2013 I pitched the Freedom Run Half Marathon to the Twin Rivers YMCA. With an eye on designing the flattest, fastest 26.2 mile race in the United States. Patience Guillermo, Patience.
Our NRGE Board of Director and Medical Director will once again be on loan as Chief Medical Officer duties for the Heartland Marathon. NRGE, Inc. happy to contribute to the Omaha running community. De Nada.
