Ran this race for the first time today. This used to be called the Novartis Run, now it is GSK Run for Glaxo-Smith-Kline pharmaceutical co. The race starts on Normal Boulevard just north of Holmes Lake/Holmes Park in Lincoln. It was a frigid windy adventure. Also, there was a dangerous part crossing 56th Street at Normal Boulevard intersection. Police were trying to control traffic and a truck suddenly crossed in front of me, making me break my stride. Could have hit someone. So if you do run this race, be prepared to make a sudden stop at 56th Street if traffic does not obey police commands. There is a 2 mile adventure for kids primarily that was run right behind us, the 10k runners. The pavement for this course was slightly broken up on a few of the streets so be careful for that, potholes and cracks in pavement. I would rate the race higher if we just ran loops around Holmes Lake (crushed limestone, no traffic problems like I indicated). That of course would make it a trail race. But the race begins with about a mile loop near Holmes Lake, then extends west on Normal Boulevard, there is a nice downhill at about 1 mile and a few others. The race management was ok, volunteers seemed a little sparse and it was so cold we weren't breaking for water. I was able to break some records during this race: fastest 1k, mile, 2 mile, and 5k according to Strava. The wind was a factor at the end and the beginning of the race (easterly wind). The hill at the end of the race is unkind. I was also hampered by my Garmin dying at 4 mile mark so I was running by feel after that. So I did appreciate the man giving me a 5 mile race split. Sort of awkward: it was announced at the beginning this was a gun-timed race although we were wearing chip bibs but of course the finish line had chip mats I guess just to mark when exactly we hit them. But we were told we will all receive a gun time. I looked up at the clock when I finished and it said 44:50. The time I received was 45:54. So either the sun got in my eyes or the finish was further back on the last (3rd of 3 chip mats). I made a small error at the end that cost me a PR: I was concentrating on the finish and dropped a running glove. For some reason, I went back to retrieve it, broke my momentum. A spectator even told me: NO, don't go back for your glove. Finish first! Of course he's right. Finished 5th in my age group and 36th overall. If you do decide to run this race, just be very careful when there is any crossing traffic especially at 56th Street: drivers don't always obey police commands. Overall, it's an OK race but needs improvement and runner safety should be first and I'm not sure that was the case at 56th and Normal Boulevard, a very busy intersection and probably not a safe one for this race based on what I saw and experienced today. My main reservation about recommending this race is over safety. So I'm recommending the race with a strong caution for crossing traffic.
