This was the 1st time I ran this race but have heard many great things about it through the years from many racing friends. The pre-race was very well organized and setup, with more than enough volunteers helping out. The course was wide and relatively flat. Great scenery

Nothing super special about the race itself (although, it was wonderfully flat) but it was pretty cool as part of the Nebraska State Fair. You can basically run the race, take a shower (they offer free showers there), and then wander the state fair eating fried oreos and other fun

Despite the 5K and 10K races with a low turnout, I'd say the price of registration to enter the race was pretty reasonable. That's especially a bang for my buck for a 5K that does not have a huge crowd.

I am unsure about the course similarity to the Casino Bridge Run,
