Registration is now open for Omaha’s HEARTLAND MARATHON on September 26, 2021. If you are interested in accurately measured and clearly marked courses, prompt and accurate results during the race, photos available shortly after you cross the finish line, and race officials and volunteers who really care about your race experience, then we are the race for you. Omaha’s HEARTLAND MARATHON is presented by the Omaha Running Club. It is locally-owned and managed and put on by runners, for runners. The race proceeds go right back to supporting the Omaha running community and to services which also support the running community.

The Omaha Running Club is here year-round supporting the Omaha running community and has over 40 years’ experience putting on successful events, including marathons. We hope you will give us a chance to demonstrate we are the best choice for your fall marathon, marathon relay, half marathon or 10K!
