The Happy Camper Run
The Happy Camper Run is the 14th annual local run taking place on Saturday, June 20, 2026. The event offers race options for participants of different ages and supports summer camps and mentoring programs for Omaha area foster children and teens. Programs associated with the event have operated since 2004.
Race options include:
- 5 km
- 1 mile Family Fun Run or Walk
All event proceeds go to fund summer camps and mentoring for abused and neglected children and teens in the Omaha area. A group participation note in event materials states that 10 runners equal one camper scholarship funded. The event materials also describe family oriented elements along the course and post-race food and games.
Corporate sponsorships are available at three levels with corresponding benefits and camper scholarships:
- Bronze $300 sends one foster child to camp and lists the company name on participant shirts and web promotion.
- Silver $600 sends two foster children to camp, includes a small logo on participant shirts and web promotion, and up to five complimentary entries.
- Gold $900 sends three foster children to camp, includes a large logo on participant shirts and web promotion, up to ten complimentary entries, and a corporate sponsor runner group photo.
Corporate sponsor deadline is June 1. Packet pick-up locations are listed for the weekend prior to the event; new registrations at Saturday packet pick-up incur a $10 late fee. Fee tiers apply by age with earlier registration offering lower fees and included shirts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
