The Greater Omaha Area Trail Runnerz (GOATz) are proud to present the Crown of the Crest at Calvin Crest in Fremont Nebraska. Runners will embark on the all-new Nebraska 100 miler! This is a 6 mile per loop course which makes it simple if you are planning to do this solo or have full crew/pacers. The 100-mile runners will have 32 hours to complete the distance, for a final cut-off time of 2 pm on Sunday. For those who wish to join in on the fun but perhaps do not have running 100 miles in their plans, we have a totally unique, Lucky 13-hour event for you. Starting at 1:00 am on Sunday, you will embark on your 13-hour run and give new energy to those 100-mile runners who are still on course! For this distance, you will simply run as many loops as you can in 13 hours.

Course Info
Located just southwest of Fremont, NE, Calvin Crest is a single track loop located on the bluffs of the Platte River with a distance of approximately 6 miles.
There is an estimated 700 feet in elevation gain and 1,400 feet of max elevation.
The trail starts at the top of the bluff and rolls down and up into the center spine of cedars. Calvin Crest is like a roller coaster in some spots and has some pretty tough climbs out there. Expect switchbacks and roots as the trail can be technical in some areas during the loop. This area is very scenic and cuts through a bluff on the Platte River.
