Get ready to run the 8th edition of this beloved event on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 8:00 AM along the beautiful Chief Standing Bear Trail in Beatrice, Nebraska—you can choose to compete solo in the half marathon, 10K, or 5K, join a 2-3 person relay team, or participate virtually! The fast and flat course winds through scenic crushed limestone and paved paths, welcomes leashed dogs, and rewards top finishers in age divisions with awards while teams compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place honors. Every runner takes home a cozy long-sleeve shirt, custom medal, post-race snacks, a complimentary beverage, plus entry to Oktoberfest—just register by September 16 to guarantee your shirt size!
