6 upcoming Half Marathon races found · 3 with finish-time stats
Omaha's half marathon calendar is shaped by the same city that builds its running life around the Missouri riverfront, the Keystone and West Papio greenways, and a ring of lake loops. Whether you train along the Old Market waterfront or grind out long miles on the Papillion Creek corridor, the races here tend to draw from a community that runs outdoors year-round regardless of what the weather decides to do that afternoon.
The culture has real range - from casual lake-loop regulars to training-program graduates stepping up to 13.1 for the first time. Several of these events sit inside multi-distance festivals, so you can bring a friend who is not ready for the half and have them run the 5K or 10K while you go long. That setup matters in a city where the running scene is genuinely broad.
By the numbers
The Biggest and Longest-Running
The Omaha races that stand out on the numbers: the biggest field, and the longest unbroken run of editions.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
Common Questions About Running a Half Marathon in Omaha
What does it typically cost to enter one of these half marathons?
Entry fees run from $12.99 up to $75. Most of the field clusters around $22 - that is the fee for Heatwave Half Marathon - Omaha, Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5k/10k - Omaha, Spooky Sprint - Omaha, and Turkey Trails - Omaha.
The Fall Full & Half Marathon Training Class sits at the top end at $75, while Hot Cider Hustle - Omaha Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K comes in at $12.99. One race already has a price increase scheduled, so check the registration page sooner rather than later.
What finish times should I expect at these races - will I be the slowest person out there?
Across the 3 RunSignup 5K editions with published results on RunSesh - walkers and charity entrants included - the median finish time was 34:58 and the last finisher crossed in 1:23:00. The median winner ran 18:42. That spread tells you these are genuinely mixed-pace fields, not purely competitive ones, so if you are worried about being at the back, you are almost certainly not alone back there.
When do most of these races happen, and can I fit one into a fall training block?
Fall is the busiest stretch, with 4 of the 7 races running from September through November. That lines up well with a summer build: the Golden Harvest Half in September, then Spooky Sprint and Hot Cider Hustle in October, and Turkey Trails in November. If your training block peaks earlier, there are 3 summer races as well, with August carrying 2 of them.
Do these races give out shirts and medals?
All 7 races say they give a shirt. On medals, none of the 7 have said they award one - but that is silence, not a confirmed no. It means none of them have published medal details, not that none give medals. Worth checking each race's page directly if a finisher medal is important to you.
Where can I find people to train with in Omaha before race day?
Omaha has a strong club scene. Groups worth looking into include the Omaha Running Club, Fleet Feet Omaha Run Club, Aksarben Run Club, Kros Strain Draft Works Run Club, Kinkaider Run Club, Scriptown Running Club, Peak Performance Run Club, and Run 402. The riverfront corridor between the Old Market and north downtown is where group runs and post-run meetups naturally concentrate.
