Boystown 5 mile. Completely closed road race. No sidewalks or bike paths being substituted for Road Racing. So why the decline in numbers? Certainly the weather impacted this year’s numbers but it is always hot at Boystown. So what gives? Why are people staying away in droves from this Omaha classic?
