Please join us for the 10th Annual Shamrock 5k Run /Walk in Aksarben Village.
The Nebraska weather has always been crazy! March is going to be here soon and St. Patrick's Day is great way to get outside and enjoy the weather.

This is a family friendly event for participants of all ages and skill levels. The course will be along the Keystone Trail next to the Little Papillion Creek, one of the flattest areas of Omaha. The post-race activities will take place at Backlot Taphouse with lots of giveaways.
Aksarben Village – A hub of excitement on the weekends with many local restaurants, bars, outdoor festivals, music and more … St. Patrick’s Weekend is no different!
