Alison Anderson's thoughts:

Overall? Poorly organized race that was clearly meant to drive traffic to their organizers (HITS) triathlon events.
Tshirt/SWAG: SAME SHIRT for every distance. We don't list any distance other than the marathon, so congrats on your Omaha Marathon shirt even though you ran the half, 10k, 5k, etc. The medal is a really nice design, but then we went and put the same ribbon on every distance. So my half medal says Omaha Marathon...
Expo: a few tents in the parking lot of a stadium with no clear direction of whats happening.
Aid Stations: It would be nice if the volunteers knew what was in the cup they were handing me. I only want water, but since HEED barely has any color to it and nothing was labeled, they weren't sure. Also, don't say you'll have Hammer Gel at every aid station and then only have orange slices and bananas.
Scenery: Mostly sketch outer parts of downtown. Not much for looking. Little shade in the blazing sun.
Parking/Access: The participant guide pretty much says (I'm paraphrasing) "Well, our race is downtown and theres lots of parking, so just find some. You may have to pay $8"

Not going back. Pick another Nebraska Race.
