The creation of the Laugh-and-a-Half-Marathon started as a way to promote wellness, as well as remember comedy legend and Norfolk, Nebraska native, Johnny Carson, but it has come to help foster a connection to something more. Every year over 600 runners--men and women, young and old, husbands and wives, families, friends, first-timers and seasoned runners--choose to join us for a race that not only tickles your funny-bone but supports health and other important services for area kids. 
We hope you will join us to run, support and laugh your way to the finish line!

Please thank our generous sponsors for their support to make this year's event possible!
