There are different kinds of running events that could get people outdoors and in shape, not to mention some of these runs are quite fun! Different running events I have seen around the area is the Lincoln marathon and half marathon. But if your like me that one doesn't sound to fun. Another event is the Warrior Dash that is coming to Louisville NE, June 9th and 10th. It is a obstacle course that gets people moving and outdoors. I have a link below that shows a little of the run. Another one I have heard of is the color run where there are color stations you run by and get washable paint thrown on you. There are adventure races around Omaha and other cities that are big scavenger hunts that include bicycling, running, and canoeing. There are a lot of different kinds of races out there for different kinds of people. This is a good way of getting people outside and meeting other people who are interested in the same thing.

There is also the Mayor's fun run for kids to run around the state capitol building early in May. It's good to build appreciation for the outdoors early on, even if it is in an urban setting.
