More than 2400 runners descended on Omaha on December 3 for a series of events including what the world’s leading running magazine has described as one of the world’s top “bucket list half marathons”.
The fast and flat half-marathon course took in a full circumnavigation of the Omaha Peninsula, including two kilometres along the beach, before an out-and-back section across the causeway and around Point Wells. The route featured running on sand, boardwalk, track and road.
There were also 10 and five kilometre options and a two kilometre kids’ dash. Dylan Logan took out the half marathon honours with a 1:16:53 time, while the first woman home was Ella Appleby, in 1:27:07.
A 2021 Runner’s World article listed the Omaha half-marathon, first held in 2015, as one of 10 “bucket list half marathons” around the world, citing “peaceful country roads” and “sweeping sea views”.
