Lake Cunningham Park | Omaha, Nebraska

June 8th, 2024 | 5:00 PM

Since year one, our Omaha stop has been a cornerstone of the RipRoar series. In 2024 we’re excited to announce a new partnership with the USA Triathlon Multisport Festival as well as a new venue for our RipRoar Omaha Event.

RipRoar Omaha 2024 will be our first-ever “night race” held at the newly renovated Cunningham Lake Park. With more than 1000 acres of park space in North-central Omaha, athletes will take on a unique evening race and a post-race movie night at the Amphitheater.

Plus, parents can join in the Multisport Festival fun with a large lineup of events including draft-legal races and mixed relays.

The Course

Information coming soon.

At 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, the transition will open for all athletes. It is RipRoar’s policy that all athletes (including intermediate and junior division athletes) must set up their bikes, and transition areas between 3:30 pm and 4:45 pm on race morning. All bikes must be racked by either the seat of the bike or by using a kickstand. Please note that we do not allow bike stands in transition due to space. Parents are welcome in transition prior to the race, but will not be allowed in during the running of the events. Don’t worry- RipRoar staff and volunteers are trained and ready to help all athletes as they work their way through transition.

Athletes will be lined up based on their assigned bib number. We assign bib numbers based on age and sex so that all athletes competing in the same division are grouped together. The order of athletes within these divisions is solely at the race director’s discretion and will not be lined up based on swimming ability.

The RipRoar finish line is unlike anything else, especially during the junior division event. Our belief is a straightforward one: triathlon is a hard sport, and we want to positively reinforce a child’s desire to do hard things. Therefore, we build a massive finish line chute, line it with red carpet, and strongly encourage all athletes and spectators to help make it something special. If we all do our part, we can get these kids addicted to the feeling of crossing difficult finish lines.

Triathlon represents a big challenge for our athletes and we give out big hardware. Every finisher, regardless of place will receive a super sweet finisher medal. In addition, we highlight the top five boys and top five girls from every age (6, 7, 8, etc). The award ceremony is held approximately 20 minutes following the final finisher crossing the line. During this time we invite all athletes to remove all their items from transition. Those looking to leave the venue are welcomed to do so.
