Board approves Market to Market Relay permit after organizer corrects event date
Summary
Lancaster County commissioners approved a special event permit for the Market to Market Relay (start Omaha, finish Lincoln Haymarket). Organizer Jacob Henderson clarified the event date (Oct. 17) and gave an overview of the relay format and participant numbers.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners approved a special events permit May 26 for the Market to Market Relay, a long-running relay starting in Omaha and concluding in Lincoln’s Haymarket.
Jacob Henderson, listed on the agenda as the applicant from Off the Clock Events LLC (d.b.a. Pink Gorilla Events), told commissioners: "For those of you that don't know, uh the Market to Market Relay is a running event that spans uh from Omaha uh beginning and then ending in Lincoln in the Haymarket uh region." He corrected the date listed on the agenda to Oct. 17 (the agenda item initially read Oct. 16). Henderson said the 19th-year relay stages runners in teams of six to eight and that participant numbers have reached roughly 650 teams.
Commissioners asked whether runners were mostly local; Henderson said the field is a mix of Nebraska and out-of-state runners and explained staggered starts for different speed groups. The permit passed on a unanimous roll call.
