March 24, 2007 (Ten Miles)

All races start at 10:00 AM

 

NOTE: NO scheduled race on February 10 due to US XC Championships in Boulder, CO

 

All races begin at 10:00 am. Registration is on race day only and is $3.00. Registration takes place at the LaPlatte Community Church, immediately south of the Peru State Annex (formerly the LaPlatte Elementary School).  LaPlatte is located approximately 2 miles south of Offutt AFB on the east side of Highway 75. From Omaha, take the Kennedy Freeway south and the second signalized intersection will be LaPlatte Road. Look to the east and you will see the Peru State Annex. This is where the race begins.

 

The five mile course is out and back along LaPlatte Road. The course is paved and each mile is marked. There are no splits or water given on the course. The scenic course runs along the Chris/Hanson lake community and Platte River bluffs. There is no traffic control but there is relatively low traffic along the race course.

 

The ten mile course is out and back along LaPlatte Road and then turns north at 57^th Street. The middle miles (2.5 through 7.5) are on gravel.  There is a significant 200m hill just prior to the turnaround. Otherwise the course is basically flat. Water is provided at the 3, 5 and 7 mile marks.

 

Race results are age-graded using the WAVA grading tables. The top 10 individuals are awarded series points beginning with 10 for first, 9 for second and so on. Series standings and results are posted after each race at www.runnebraska.com. After the final race, there is a potluck awards luncheon.

 

All race proceeds benefit the Bellevue West and Bellevue Breeze distance running teams. We appreciate your support.
