The largest day-long relay in the nation, the Market to Market® Relay Nebraska presented by OrthoNebraska takes teams from the Omaha Metro to Downtown Lincoln. Over the course of 70ish miles, teams take on running stages, each stage varying in distance from 3 to 5 miles.

The course follows trails, paved streets and gravel back roads through a diverse and scenic slice of Nebraska. Combine the running with outrageous costumes, memorable van rides, and a lively finish line and it all adds up to 1 unforgettable day.

Space is limited and the relay sells out every year.
