About the Popsicle 5K/10K/Half - Omaha
The trail at Zorinsky Lake runs along the water's edge, and the course follows it in one direction before turning back to the same shelter where you started. You get lake views the whole way out and the whole way back. Aid stations are spaced along the route, though runners pushing a faster pace may want to carry their own hydration rather than rely on the self-serve stops.
Packet pickup happens the evening before on the race site, at the same shelter where the race starts. Race-morning check-in opens early, before the first wave goes off.

The Popsicle 5K/10K/Half - Omaha has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
