Who we are
Formed out of an evolution of Nevada’s oldest races, the Lincoln Highway Dash (est. 2014) and the Story County Freedom Run (est. 2015), Runners United Nevada has more than a decade of experience organizing running events in the Nevada, IA community. Runners United Nevada is a 501(c)3 charitable organization established to foster fitness, fun, and philanthropy.
In 2024, Runners United Nevada was able to contribute more than $25,000 to the Nevada Foundation, Freedom Flight, American Legion, Main Street Nevada, Nevada Cross Country, Food at First, Wings of Refuge, and high school scholarship recipients.
