The start/finish of the 2026 Lincoln Running Co Mile is close by the Lincoln Running Co - at Tower Square for the next 2 years! The Lied Center is undergoing construction, so we have moved over and down a block!
We will head north on 13th St then take a right at R St. We will head down R St to Centennial Mall and run south on the west side of Centennial Mall to O St. At O St we will take a left to the east side of Centennial Mall and then another left and head back to R St up the east side of Centennial Mall. At R St we take another left and head to 13th St and a left on 13th St takes us to the finish!
As a runner, we think you are going to love this flat scenic course, as a spectator we KNOW you are going to love being able to catch your runner coming and going on Centennial Mall!
Sign up to run or show up to cheer - either way it's going to be a GREAT morning!
