The Bones Run 5K is a night-time themed run hosted by the Omaha Running Club at Standing Bear Lake (132nd Street and Papio Lake 16 Rd N at the first parking lot) this is the north entrance on 132nd Street south of Military Rd. We will be running the course backwards from previous years due to the construction. It is our goal to provide a safe, fun and possibly scary event for the community. The course will be an out and back “dark” course, with a water stop along the course. We do encourage headlights for the run. Costumes are encouraged and we give awards for the best costumes. The minimum age for this run will be 18 years old. No pets on the race course.

We will cap this event at 250 participants, so sign up today. You won’t want to miss an evening … on the dark side …
