Ladies of the Evening is a group of Omaha Running Club women who share a common interest in running and walking.  During their monthly gatherings of 15-30 women, they share running tips, set training goals, review regimens and build friendships.

The group meets on the first Wednesday of every month at 6 p.m. at a designated member’s home where they walk or run for 30-40 minutes, then meet back at the house to share a potluck dinner.

The Blade 5K is a locally based nonprofit organization that is completely volunteer driven.   Our mission is to empower adaptive athletes by raising awareness and funds.   Please join us for our 4th annual fundraiser at Chalco Holls Recreation Area.   This event will feature something for everyone— a 1 mile walk, a 5K run, and a virtual option for folks who can’t make it in person! Funds raised at this year’s event will go towards helping three adaptive adaptive athletes access a healthy and active lifestyle!

The Triathlon will begin in the west parking lot of Walnut Creek Lake and Recreation area and finish nearby on the walking trail.  The Triathlon begins with a 500-meter open water staggered swim in Walnut Creek Lake.  The second leg of the race is a 13-mile bike ride on parts of the hard surface trail and scenic highways around Walnut Creek and Papillion-La Vista South High School.  Lastly, a 3.1-mile run on the trail in Walnut Creek completes the Triathlon.

Closes July 8th. Limited to the first 300 racers. NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION!

5K for Fayez is a fundraising and advocacy event put on by the Dear Dunya Nonprofit Organization. Fayez is the 9-year-old boy who was left orphaned in Ontario after his family was killed in a terrorist attack while out on a walk. His mother, father, sister, and grandmother were declared dead at the scene of the accident, leaving Fayez orphaned and in critical condition. All of the money raised will go directly towards paying for Fayez’s medical bills, schooling, and other expenses in order to ensure he is financially supported for the rest of his life.
