The Lincoln Marathon is an annual road race through Lincoln, Nebraska, organized by the Lincoln Track Club (running continuously since 1976, making the 2027 edition the 50th running). The course starts at 14th & Vine on the University of Nebraska campus, loops through Lincoln's neighborhoods, parks, and tree-lined streets with rolling hills, and finishes on the 50-yard line inside Memorial Stadium, home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team. The mostly flat-to-rolling course and stadium finish have made it one of the highest Boston Qualifying-rate marathons in Nebraska, with roughly 800 marathon finishers in recent years. Marathoners face a 6-hour-15-minute course time limit.
