America’s Marathon has been designed for serious runners looking to run personal bests and achieve the sought after Boston and Olympic Trials qualifier. Runners will get their chance to achieve just this on 32 foot elevation change, pancake flat, lightning fast, wide open country roads course in Valley and Waterloo, Nebraska!

Saturday, April 24, 2021 will be a bittersweet day to many in Valley, Nebraska. A chance to band as ONE and host what should have occurred the previous two years.

Over the quarantine months, March 2020 – forever (so it feels), the Valley 7 Lakes Marathon took on a new look, a new name, and a few extra individuals added to the leadership staff.

The name evolved from Valley 7 Lakes to Valley O.NE Marathon. Keeping the Valley title prominent, it is followed with Omaha, a partnering community and the state in which the race resides, Nebraska. This change not only reflects a geographic reference but truly showcases the cooperation of multiple communities into ONE partnership.

The race committee has partnered with the Omaha Sports Commission, gaining additional event knowledge and new team members. We are all excited for the FIRST in-person race and look forward to creating a great experience for our runners, partners and volunteers!

We hope to see you all in April of 2021, IN PERSON!
