About the Lincoln Marathon - Full/Half/10K/5K
The course heads south out of downtown Lincoln along a straight state highway, staying flat the whole way. It is terrain that suits anyone chasing a time, and the open road means you can settle into a pace without much to navigate. Several distance options mean runners at very different points in their training tend to show up on the same morning.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a venue close to the start. Personal bottles can be handed off at the operations tent before the gun goes off, and they will be waiting at water stations along the route. There is a vendor area at the finish, and lodging and dining options nearby make it workable as a weekend trip.

The Lincoln Marathon - Full/Half/10K/5K has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
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 Oct 25, 2026.
