Aim to carry 30 pounds of food items in your ruck. If you don't want to carry the weight in your ruck or have additional donations, please bring your items to the starting line and drop it off. The food pantry will graciously accept all canned goods and food items, however here is a list of the most needed items: Pancake mix Syrup Juice (that doesn’t need refrigeration) Canned meat like Spam, chicken, tuna, and beef Cereal Beans - black, pinto, pork & beans - no green beans please Bar Soap Laundry Soap Keep in mind that these items are for families and canned goods should be limited to 15 ounce or less cans.

Some tips for the canned goods is to use the cardboard tray and saran wrap it to keep the cans from shifting during the ruck. Please do not use tape as this will peel the label off the cans.

Join us in Aksarben Village for a morning of hope, courage, and community as we run and walk together to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Powered by Team Ethan and supported by our friends at Fleet Feet, this event is a chance to make a real difference in the lives of kids and families fighting pediatric cancer. This run is inspired by Ethan Benson’s journey. In January 2023, Ethan was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer. With no clear roadmap, our family faced the unknown until St. Jude stepped in. They gave us world-class treatment, groundbreaking research, and, most importantly, hope. Today, Ethan celebrates being two and a half years cancer free—and we celebrate by giving back. Bring your family, your friends, and your running shoes. Whether you run or walk, your steps will help ensure that kids battling cancer have the care, research, and support they need and that no family ever has to walk this road alone. Together, we can fuel the mission of St. Jude and bri

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, running for the vibes, or just in it for the post-race Kirkland hot dog, the Costco Marathon delivers. Join for a race where endurance meets everyday value. Registration is free, but donations are highly encouraged, as the funds will be used to purchase water, Gatorade, hand warmers, and all of the Costco snacks for our aid stations. Any surplus in donated funds will be given to the Food Bank of Omaha You are free to run at whatever pace you would like; there will likely be groups running at various speeds, ranging from 3:30 to 5:30 marathons. There will be no course marking, and so I HIGHLY encourage you to familiarize yourself with the route and download it onto your watch/phone in case you get separated from other runners!

There will not be any official timing, awards, or race swag, which you might find at a sanctioned race. It is more or less a large, organized group run with everything Costco :)

The Heat the Streets Run & Walk for Warmth is a community fundraising event that supports local utility assistance programs, helping neighbors in need pay their utility bills. Choose from a timed 5K run, timed 10K run, untimed 2-mile walk or participate virtually from anywhere. Hosted annually by Metropolitan Utilities District and Omaha Public Power District since 2007, the event raises awareness of the ongoing need for utility assistance. While the event takes place during the winter months, the need for help with heating, electricity and other utility costs continues throughout the year. M.U.D. and OPPD's partnership ensures all costs associated with the event are covered, so 100% of the money received from sponsorships, donations and registrations goes directly to those in need. Funds raised are administered by Dollar Energy Fund, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3), and then split between M.U.D.’s Home Fund and OPPD’s Energy Assistance Program to provide assistance to our customers living in Burt, Cass, Colfax, Dodge, Douglas, Johnson, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee, Richardson, Sarpy, Saunders and Washington counties. All money raised is distributed through this local network. Dollar Energy Fund's mission is to improve the quality of life for households experiencing hardships by providing utility assistance and other services that lead to self-sufficiency.
