Welcome! Thanks for visiting the site and also checking whats going on inside my head. I'll try and make this a regular part of our efforts to highlight and illuminate some of the hot topics related to our club, our community, and our efforts to bring these two together.
Looks like the finish line is in sight, whew! This is the 6th week in a row that our little band of merry makers have been involved in race administration. I want to give a big THANK YOU to the members of the TNB race management staff, I don't know how they put up with me sometimes, their perseverance speaks of their passion for our sport! Please give them a big pat on the back the next time you run across them!!

*Special thanks to Tom Whitaker and the ORC for tabulating results for our races, this was our missing piece of the puzzle.
I'm just so proud of our mates this past weekend in the Twin Cities. They demonstrated a grit and determination that elevated their performances to the highest echelon in our USA Men's Marathon, Masters Marathon, and USA Women's 10 Mile National Championships. These fine athletes of ours are not only inspiring their mates, but the next generation of Nebraska distance runners.
Runguru Sez: I'll be posting the infamous McLatchie Marathon training program under Training Tips, along with some other gems I've garnered over the years.
From the Top will contain my own personal musings on the sport, and Seen & Heard will feature some notable activities and people that might not make the front page.
So, here goes number one: Did you know Team Nebraska Brooks puts on races for the Entire Running Community, regardless of ability?! A recent Sunday morning at Lake Zorinsky illustrated that there is still a gap of what people perceive when the see the Red & White of TNB. I approached a group of 7 athletes and asked them if they had heard of or participated in the Swamp Stomp, Monster Dash, or Omaha Mile. Their response was that those races are only for those "fast people". Not so cried I! The events that TNB puts on are actually parties with some running along with it. Hot food and live music follow our events, we really work hard to come up with unique awards through the age groups, conduct our events on USATF Certified courses, and genuinely care about your racing experience, regardless of how fast or otherwise. Running and Racing are great fun, no matter when you cross the finish line! Check our calendar of events and come out and see just how great a time you can have!
