Lace up your running shoes for the 45th Annual Omaha Corporate Cup, set to take place on April 19, 2026, in the vibrant heart of Omaha, NE! This premier corporate event offers a fantastic opportunity for runners and walkers of all levels to hit the pavement for a great cause, supporting the American Lung Association. With typical race day conditions boasting comfortable highs around 65F and lows around 42F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, you can expect ideal weather for personal bests or a leisurely stroll.

Choose your challenge with distances designed for every participant. The 5K course offers a "flat as a pancake" route, perfect for speedsters and casual walkers alike, winding through Aksarben Village and the scenic Elmwood Park. For those seeking a bit more undulation, the 10K course features 6.2 miles of "rolling hills," guiding runners through the charming Aksarben Village, Elmwood Park, surrounding neighborhoods, and the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) campus. Both courses promise beautiful scenery through historic Omaha, ensuring an engaging experience.

The Omaha Corporate Cup is more than just a race; it's a cherished community tradition and a significant fundraiser, having raised over $5 million throughout its history for lung health research and advocacy. The event caters to all, from competitive runners vying for top honors to those enjoying an untimed 5K or 1-mile walk, and even a Kids 100-yard dash for the youngest athletes. Water stations staffed by enthusiastic volunteers will be on hand to keep participants hydrated and motivated along the road courses, which begin on Aksarben Drive, just north of Frances Street. Come for the run, stay for the camaraderie, and contribute to a healthier future at this impactful Omaha event.
