Event Type : Kids Run

The Blade 5K run/1 mile walk is set on the beautiful College of Saint Mary campus in Omaha. The 5K run is an out and back course that will start on campus and also include a section of the Keystone Trail. The 1 mile walk is also an out and back course, and will wind through the CSM campus.  Both options are relatively flat courses.  We will also be having kids fun runs on CSM’s brand new state of the art 200 meter indoor track.  The Blade 5K is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The Blade 5K’s goal each year is to raise funds and award a new recipient(s) a professionally fitted prosthetic or other necessities in order to begin or return to an active lifestyle.

The Nebraska State Fair Marathon Race Series begins and ends on the Nebraska State Fairgrounds with the after party celebration amidst the festivities of the fair.  The course is a Boston Qualifier known for being one of the “fastest and flattest” in the nation.  Participants run on city streets, on the hike & bike trail, through beautiful parks and winding through tree-lined residential neighborhoods.  Entry into the Nebraska State Fair is included in your registration along with a long-sleeve tech shirt and a custom medal.
