Embark on a unique journey of physical and spiritual endurance at the 33 Ultra, set for April 11, 2026, in the charming rural landscape of Odell, Nebraska. This non-competitive event invites participants to test their limits across various distances, including a challenging 33-mile ultra, a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, 3.3M, and 1M options, along with biking and relay opportunities. The course itself primarily winds through picturesque country and gravel roads in southeast Nebraska, with a small section of paved surface, offering a serene backdrop for reflection and personal challenge. Runners will traverse the scenic route between the Odell NE Methodist Church and the Ellis NE Methodist Church, culminating with a heartfelt finish at the Methodist Church/Park/community Building in Odell.
What truly sets the 33 Ultra apart is its focus on community, faith, and personal dedication. Conceived as an offering to honor the 33 years Jesus spent on earth, this untimed event emphasizes inward strength over competition, with every finisher receiving a medal. Typical race day conditions in early April feature highs around 44°F and lows near 25°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation, providing a crisp and invigorating atmosphere for your effort. The camaraderie continues post-race with a free-will donation meal, fellowship, worship, and inspiring testimonies in the Odell Community Building. As the final ultra runner approaches Odell, community members are encouraged to join for the last mile, creating a truly supportive and memorable finish line experience.
