Omaha Surf Wave Run 5K

Gear up for the inaugural Omaha Surf Wave Run 5K on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Papillion, Nebraska! This exciting event invites runners of all ages and abilities to "catch the wave" with a fun, family-friendly 5K experience. Starting at the Papillion Soccer Complex, participants will enjoy a scenic course that winds through the complex and along the picturesque Papio Trail. While specific elevation details aren't provided, the trail setting promises a refreshing outing. Typical race day conditions in mid-April offer pleasant highs around 61°F and lows around 37°F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the scenic run, the Omaha Surf Wave Run 5K is a charity event dedicated to supporting the Omaha Surf Soccer Club's financial assistance fund, helping youth athletes access the sport they love. Runners can expect a vibrant, community-focused atmosphere with a beach-themed bash feel. Every registration includes a race shirt, a commemorative finisher medal to celebrate your achievement, and post-run snacks. The event emphasizes participation and community spirit with a running clock at the finish line, foregoing official chip timing to keep the focus on fun and fitness rather than fierce competition. Come run, walk, jog, or ruck to make some waves for a great cause!
