American Heroes Half Marathon, 10K and 5K

The American Heroes Half Marathon, 10K and 5K takes place in Bellevue, Nebraska, in late May, and pays tribute to heroes while welcoming runners of every level. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7:00 a.m., with the 10K and 5K following at 7:15 a.m. The route begins at Hayworth Park and passes through American Heroes Park, Old Towne Bellevue and along the Keystone Trail.

Participants receive professional timing, a race shirt, a custom medal and snacks, and awards are given by age group as well as to the top overall runners. Late May in the Missouri River valley can bring warm, humid mornings, so plan hydration accordingly and start the half at a controlled pace.
