Early Bird 10 Mile Run

Lace up your shoes for the Early Bird 10 Mile Run, a premier event kicking off the running season on April 4, 2026, in Omaha, Nebraska. This expertly organized race, known for attracting a large field of enthusiastic runners, offers a compelling 10-mile distance that blends scenic beauty with a rewarding challenge.

While largely flat, runners should prepare for a couple of challenging hills in the final mile as they make their way back to the park. Runners consistently praise the smooth organization, fun atmosphere, and excellent amenities of this event.

The Early Bird 10 Mile Run is more than just a race; it's a beloved tradition to "Earn Your Worm." The course features three well-placed water stations and porta-potties to support runners throughout their journey. Upon crossing the finish line back at Walnut Grove Park, celebrate your accomplishment with a delightful post-race breakfast, complete with coffee and refreshing mimosas, along with finish medals and heat blankets. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 62F and lows around 39F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather with potentially breezy conditions. This event is a perfect spring tune-up, offering a vibrant community atmosphere and a memorable experience for all.
