2021 Chiller Challenge & ORC Annual Meeting
The Chiller Challenge & Annual Meeting is a great way to kick off your running year. Although this year may be a little different than in the past as we all deal with COVID-19. Under current directives and protective measures we can safely host the races and election of the Omaha Running Club Directors and Officers but if directives or conditions change we will adjust accordingly. We are continuing to monitor conditions and are working with the facility to determine if we can host the chili dinner, awards and meeting program.
We hope to have a clear picture of this by late January.

Virtual Run /Walk
Simply register, complete the distance anytime and anywhere you desire(even a treadmill) and upload your finish time. You must be registered online for the Virtual run by Monday Sunday, April 5 to receive a t-shirt and race bib via mail prior to the actually run on Saturday, April 24. If registering after April 5 you will receive a t-shirt and race bib but cannot guarantee you will receive it prior race day. Your virtual run may commence starting Wednesday, April 21 and all times must be submitted by 10 am CST on Saturday, April 24, 2021. A link and code will be provided to those running virtually to submit their times the week of the event. Please feel free to post a photo on the UNO Maverick Run Facebook page at UNOMaverickrun. We accept result on the honor system, so you can track your distance and times however you like. The most accurate way to do this is by using a running GPS watch, but there are also several free smartphone apps available for iPhones and Android devises that you may be interested or already have. Times submitted are on a honor system and if you choose to walk virtually you may do so as well. Set a goal – whatever it may be and go out and accomplish it! If that means take a break, run some walk some so be it. Just track your distance and time each day and enter your total time after you have competed the total distance.
