Havelock Run

Lace up for the 48th Annual Havelock Run on June 6, 2026, in Lincoln, NE, offering both a 10K and a 3K distance. This long-standing event, hosted by the Lincoln Track Club and Pinnacle Bank, promises an attractive and challenging course through the historic Havelock neighborhood. Runners will enjoy a scenic journey that includes a jaunt through Mahoney Park before concluding with a festive finish at Havelock Park, where post-race food and beverages await. The 10K distance is known to feature a notable hill on 84th Street, adding an engaging element for those seeking a greater challenge.

What truly sets the Havelock Run apart is its unique team challenge and profound charitable impact. Gather a team of 4-7 runners, designate a local charity, and if at least four teammates successfully cross the finish line, Pinnacle Bank will generously donate $100 to your chosen organization. This fosters a vibrant, community-focused atmosphere that many participants highlight, making it a truly rewarding experience for individuals and families alike. Typical race day conditions in early June include highs around 84F and lows around 61F, with about a 19% chance of precipitation, providing a potentially refreshing run.

Beyond the rewarding cause, participants praise the event for its well-organized nature and the quality of its commemorative t-shirts. The race kicks off from Havelock Avenue, specifically in front of Pinnacle Bank at 6145 Havelock Avenue, before heading towards the finish line in Havelock Park, ensuring a lively start and an enjoyable celebration at the conclusion. Join fellow runners for an event that combines personal achievement with significant community benefit.
