About the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk - Lincoln, NE
The course runs on the park road through Mahoney Park, which means the entrance closes once the race begins and the road belongs to runners for a stretch of the morning. It is a straightforward route on pavement, the kind of surface that works for most paces and most footwear.
Parking is inside Mahoney Park, entered off Freemont Street at the park's main entrance. Arrive before the entrance closes to car traffic at the start, or you will be waiting outside. Cars are also held in the lot until the course clears, so plan for a relaxed post-race window before you can drive out.
