2010 Omaha Corporate Cup

September 19, 2010, 8:15 a.m.
Start line is at 19th and Chicago near the Omaha Civic Auditorium
$25 participant fee before September 4th, $35 between September 4th and September 19th

The Corporate Cup is one of the premier running events in the nation (recently ranked 10th best 10-K in the U.S. by America’s Best) and among the largest of corporate road races in the United States. From the first Corporate Cup in 1981, the event has experienced phenomenal success. In that first year, 29 companies entered and 681 runners crossed the finish line. In 2009, 233 companies entered with more than 10,000 registrants.

The Corporate Cup’s unique character—businesses and their employees coming together to have fun and fight lung disease—is the basis for its success. Participants may choose to WALK or RUN a 2-mile USATF certified course or a 10K USATF certified competitive course. There is also a kids 100 yard dash that will begin on Chicago St. north of the Civic Auditorium at approximately 10:00 a.m.

We have made the 2010 Corporate Cup easier than ever to register for and participate in. This year all participants will be “chip-timed.” Chip timing systems require that athletes wear a small, lightweight chip that uniquely identifies them as they cross strategically placed, electronic mats. The chips this year will be integrated into the runner’s bib number. In its most basic and common form, chip timing electronically handles the task of collecting and processing results at the end of the race.

Be Smart – Don’t Start Storyboard Contest

Contest runs January 18 through March 26, 2010.

The American Lung Association has partnered with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Department of Education, and Oklahoma State Department of Health to develop, promote and implement the contest throughout the state. This contest gives elementary school students the opportunity to create an idea for a commercial showing why people should never use tobacco. Two grand prize winners will have their storyboards animated into commercials and distributed to television stations, posted on multiple Web sites and promoted across the state. The teachers of winning students also will receive gift certificates for classroom supplies.
