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

The race benefits the Alternative House of Lowell, an agency dedicated to help victims of domestic violence.

Price for 5K or 10K is very reasonable, you get a very nice T-Shirt if you are one of the first 500 to register and everybody gets a frozen apple pie at the end.

On mile

To be my first marathon it was great. From the expo to the race. Didn't expect it to be this good been to other expos this one was great. I would do this race again. I'm from Chicago. I always volunteer but
