Invest in Yourself 5K

Lace up for the unique "Invest in Yourself 5K" on May 3, 2026, in vibrant downtown Omaha, Nebraska. This isn't just any 5K; it's a staple of the annual Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting, attracting around 3,000 participants, from dedicated runners to savvy investors. Expect a well-organized event that kicks off near Lewis & Clark Landing at the Waterfront, offering a scenic, paved course that winds through the heart of the city. While generally flat, the route features some slight elevation changes and culminates with a welcome downhill finish. Typical race day conditions in early May are ideal for running, with highs around 69°F and lows near 46°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation.

Runners will find ample support along the course, with water stations at the start, at one key location mid-course, and at the finish line, complemented by portable toilets at all aid stations. What truly sets this 5K apart is its lively atmosphere and distinctive traditions. Participants can look forward to a quality tech shirt and finisher's medal, and the chance to participate in the "Banana Challenge," where a runner in a banana suit aims to pass as many people as possible to trigger charitable donations from Brooks Running. This event also offers a rare opportunity to acquire limited-edition Brooks running shoes, exclusively available during the shareholders' weekend.

Beyond the personal challenge of the 5K, the "Invest in Yourself" theme resonates throughout, celebrating a healthy, active lifestyle. Awards are presented to the top male, female, non-binary, and masters finishers, as well as age group winners and the fastest and largest teams, culminating in a post-run party to celebrate your accomplishment. Join the diverse crowd of this highly anticipated event for a memorable race experience in Omaha.
