Bohemian Alps Endurance Runs

The Bohemian Alps Endurance Runs, held annually in Brainard, Nebraska, feature challenging courses through scenic rural landscapes. The main events include a 50K ultramarathon and a half marathon. The 50K covers about 33 miles of rolling hills on gravel and dirt roads, bike trails, and cross-country terrain with minimal pavement, following a crew-friendly loop starting and finishing in downtown Brainard.

The half marathon is a hilly loop incorporating gravel, dirt roads, bike trails, cross-country sections, and some pavement, also starting and ending at City Park in Brainard. Both races offer water stops, participant shirts, finisher awards, and post-race social events, with free camping and nearby lodging available. The runs are known for their grueling nature and rugged course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
