28th Annual Sherman-Steichen Memorial Walk/Run 5k

The 5K Fun Run/Walk will start at Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and follow a scenic route over the pedestrian bridge into Omaha before turning back to complete the course. This event is perfect for runners and walkers of all levels, focusing on fun, fitness, and community. Near the starting line, there will be plenty of spaces for families and pets to relax and play while cheering on their participants. We’ll also have sponsor booths, including Creighton Physical Therapy and Wellness, along with tables featuring delicious snacks like bagels, fruit, and muffins. To keep the energy high, there will be music and water stations along the course, ensuring participants stay motivated and hydrated. Join us for a day filled with fitness, fun, and community spirit!

The Sherman Steichen Memorial Race is put on every year in honor of Nick  Steichen and Brett Sherman, former Creighton Physical Therapy and Pharmacy students who passed. Both Nick and Brett were known not only for their aptitude in their professional programs, but also for the way they loved life and shared that with everyone they came across. Just in their short time at Creighton, they left lasting impacts on their classmates and faculty inspiring us to carry on their legacies. This race will go on to fund three scholarships in their memory for one Physical Therapy student and two Pharmacy students that embody the kind hearted and generous characteristics that these two possessed. Every year, this is an event filled with lots of joy where we get to celebrate outside the classroom. We encourage everyone to bring their family, pets, and high energy. We are entering the 28th year of hosting this race and are honored every year by the turn out from the Creighton and Omaha community.

If you would like to further honor the legacy of Nick Steichen and Brett Sherman, we invite you to consider making an optional donation to the Sherman Steichen Memorial Fund. Your generosity helps us continue to fund three annual scholarships for one Physical Therapy student and two Pharmacy students who exemplify the kindness, compassion, and dedication that Nick and Brett embodied during their time at Creighton.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference in supporting future healthcare professionals and keeping their legacy alive.
