Decent Race

Maybe because my expectations were low given past complaints on this site, but I was pleased with the race. The course was not very exciting but it was fair with some undulating hills and a mixture of urban and country. It was a hot day, but the organizers were prepared with adequate aid stations, after being "black flagged" at another Omaha marathon two years earlier, I'm pleased that the racers were allowed to choose for themselves whether they continued. The medal and shirt were very nice with no ads on the shirt. Stop at Infusion Brewing for carb loading.

Race Director Susie Smisek reported that three competitors who began the Omaha Marathon one hour earlier than the main group told race officials that they saw an escaped tiger cub as they entered the Henry Doorly Zoo portion of the run. The Marathon was then re-routed at the last minute to avoid the zoo.
