Bellwood Daze River Run

Race Information:

The Bellwood Daze River Run is held each year during the Bellwood Daze celebration in Bellwood, Nebraska.

The 2-mile and 6-mile races are held on a mostly flat, out-and-back course consisting of pavement and gravel going north of town towards the Platte River. The turnaround for the 6-mile run is where Clear Creek meets the Platte River. The half-mile Kids’ Run is held entirely on paved streets in town.
