Nebraska's premier marathon is back with many of the unique features that have made it so special for 48 years. In addition to a spectacular course through the streets of Lincoln, we are pleased to once again offer an Expo, Awards Ceremony and After-Party. Our event caters to runners of all ages and abilities, from elite runners to everyday athletes looking to accomplish a fitness goal. We can't wait to see you again in 2025! There is a strict 6 hour course limit for the marathon.

One of Lincoln’s largest nonprofit organizations focusing on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the YMCA of Lincoln has served the community for over 150 years—promoting positive values through programs that build spirit, mind, and body for all. Today, the YMCA serves the community with facilities in all quadrants of Lincoln through programs including swim lessons, Youth Sports, Camp Kitaki’s overnight resident summer camp, child care programs, disease management, and more. Everyone is welcome, and Open Doors Financial Assistance is available to those in need. For more information, visit YMCALincoln.org.

All donations benefit the YMCA's Annual Fundraising Campaign - Strong Kids, so that more children, families, and seniors can experience the Y, regardless of financial limitations.
