Why Run the Florence 5K?
The Florence 5K is more than a race, it’s a celebration of a neighborhood with deep historical roots and a strong sense of community. Florence was once an independent town before becoming part of Omaha in 1917 and remains one of the city’s most historically significant neighborhoods.
Come run Against the Current, support the Florence community, and help build a new tradition in North Omaha.
