Event overview

Lucky Bucket 5K Off-road run! is scheduled for 2026-08-15 at Eugene Mahoney State Park in Ashland, Nebraska. The current event record lists Lucky Bucket 5K Off-road Run., with trail terrain. Treat the date, venue, course, and distance menu as organizer-controlled details: weather, permits, land access, or field size can change them. Use this page to understand the stored event structure, then use the official race site for the current runner guide, start times, required equipment, and final instructions.

Choosing a distance and preparing

Compare the distance label with the organizer's actual course map, climbing, surface, altitude, aid spacing, and cutoff before deciding whether the event fits your preparation. A familiar road distance can take substantially longer on steep or technical trail. Build training around time on feet, climbing and descending tolerance, fueling practice, and movement in conditions similar to the course. In race week, reduce experimentation: use familiar shoes, clothing, hydration, lighting, and food unless the organizer requires a change.

Registration and race-day logistics

Registration is currently recorded as open. The stored registration window runs from 2026-04-02 through 2026-08-15.Confirm entry status directly with the organizer before booking non-refundable travel. Check packet pickup, parking or shuttle instructions, start-line access, bib rules, cancellation and transfer policies, and the time zone used for every deadline. Plan arrival around the organizer's instructions rather than the venue name alone, especially when a trail system has several entrances.

Support, rules, and verification

The stored record does not include a verified support or cutoff policy. The current source did not state cutoff, aid stations, crew, pacers, drop bags, lottery, and qualification.

Reopen the official runner guide shortly before race day and save an offline copy if the organizer provides one.
