Lincoln Marathon
Lincoln Marathon is a rolling marathon in Lincoln, USA, held each May. A gently rolling loop past the Nebraska State Capitol with an out-and-back to Holmes Park, finishing on the 50-yard line inside Memorial Stadium. Mild spring mornings, around 8-18C, and often windy. With Lincoln Marathon's constant undulation, pace by effort rather than the watch: even effort beats even splits here.
