When you are traveling to Omaha, Nebraska in later October, it would be wise to participate in a…read moreTrail 50km foot race, wouldn't it? Planned or not, this usually works out in my favor. Usually. Lol Sure, that usually is why I travel. Marathons and half marathons are my forte while sightseeing / dining in an area. On my personal quest to run 100 marathons / ultras and the 50 states marathon quest (round 2), I found myself driving to Omaha, Nebraska from Kansas City, MO after running a half marathon there on a Saturday, then ponying up 50km 12 hours later. Craziness, isn't it? Why not? Race weekend started on a Saturday late afternoon when we arrived at packet pick up. I had signed up for the 21 miler initially, but ended up changing my mind and attempt to tackle the 50km distance. I was told to pay $10, but they were not accepting cash at packet pickup. I was told to pay up on race morning, which I did. I picked up my race bib at a local sporting goods store and left to go have dinner. It was a quick stop, only spending about 10 minutes tops. It was one of those packet pick ups where it was just a couple of tables, bins full of bibs, and a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers. Thank you to the volunteers. They also helped us make an informed decision on where to go for dinner that night and it was good. For the most part though, the GOATZ Trail runs are a fun way to get your trail fix and run a distance that works for you. G.O.A.T.z stands for Greater Omaha Area Trail (Runners), which is the running group responsible for these great running events here in Omaha, Nebraska. I had looked on Ultrasignup for a race to do and they were the perfect choice, especially when I can double up with the Kansas City half marathon the day before. Race morning started at 4am and it was about 43 degrees F. I was a little sore from the half marathon the day before, but what can you do but get up and get your mind right to knock off 50km on trail for a new state (2nd round) and a +1 to your personal stats goal. The drive wasn't too bad and they tell you were to go. The race start and finish line was basically set up at a camp ground. They had a few tents for gear check and whatnot, as well as food and a fully stocked aid station. Race start and finish is located on Rainwood Road in the Lake Cunningham area of Omaha. The views of Lake Cunningham are stunning and it was a great day to be out and running along the trail. Parking on race day is ample, but it does get filled up really fast if you arrive late. Best bet is to get up early and snag those spots before others do. Race registration was relatively cheap, to be honest. For a trail Ultra 50km, price was $70, which wasn't bad at all. The distance was 50km, at least for me. They had a 5k, 10km, and a 21 miler also. I had sought out the 21 miler initially for my 1st round 50 states half marathon quest, but since they offered the 50km distance, I'm like why not try? And so, I did. The challenge was to complete 3 loops of 10.5 miles each of largely single track trails, with some spots opening up to roads and speeding passerby. The aid stations were fully stocked with a food spread you would die for on any football Sunday. Love the spread that they had out and it definitely kept runners fed and hydrated. For me, it was a test of the mind as well as the soul. Can I make it? Sometimes, the miles and the heat of the day tends to tell the story and the "good job" from the faster runners help me remain steadfast to the goal. There was basically one main aid station at the 5 mile mark and at the start/finish line. There was a new view of the lake at mile 3.5, which was stunning. For the most part though, it was fun and for these tired legs, I would recommend this trail race for your 50 states goal or someone who loves to run trail races. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Awesome volunteers and the stunning beauty of Lake Cunningham is worth the hurt. Run more! Support local! A+
