The 14th annual Nebraska Trail Run is set for Saturday April 4th. Some very exciting news coming regarding our return to the storied Platte River State Park course. Dubbed the “8th Most Challenging Trail Run in the United States} by Business Insider Magazine. We listened to our trail running community and are bringing back the pain and suffering that makes this a one of a kind event. Did I mention the beer garden?
That is just the beginning of our efforts! The 2019 Valley 7 Lakes Marathon course was wiped out by the floods. We’ve set the 2020 Valley 7 Lakes Marathon date for Saturday April 25th and are hitting the ground running! Douglas County has resurfaced the scenic country roads with a nice soft asphalt finish, perfect for 13.1 or 26.2 miles of running. Registration is open: https://runsignup.com/Race/NE/Valley/Valley7LakesMarathon
