  • Comments: Race Omaha has caught a lot of flack the past few years for running events pretty poorly. I'm sure some if not most of it was earned, and a certain portion just whiners. This event was solidly run, though I did witness a high-level female athlete go off course RIGHT BY a volunteer and a police officer who could have easily pointed the right direction had they not been doing whatever in the world it was they were doing. She didn't lose much time but certainly something like that can affect your race. It started raining pretty good when the race was getting over so I didn't stick around to watch awards or anything (not that I was gonna get any anyway! ha). Also they ran out of finishers towels, which is a little irritating considering the attendance for the race was pretty much what it had been the preceding several years, but they appear to be mailing them out to people who requested it. I did get one but my friend Scott who finished about 20 minutes after me did not.
