Last week 34 incarcerated men who are part of the Omaha Correctional Center (OCC) Running Crew participated in the group’s first 5k run. All participants finished the 3.1-mile race, with the fastest recorded time being 18:46!
A big thank you to the Omaha Running Club and numerous community volunteers who make this running crew possible! From donating running shoes to sharing experience and encouragement, the Omaha running community has made a huge difference for the OCC population.
The OCC Running Crew is a powerful example of OCC’s mission of reintegrating people with safety and purpose. Beyond running being a healthy activity, members work hard toward goals, focus on gradual progress, and connect with supportive community members.
